Openai nolīgst bijušo XAI finanšu direktoru Maiku Liberatore kā biznesa finanšu virsnieks

Openai has hired Mike Liberatore, the former chief financial officer of Elon Musk’s XAI, as the artificial intelligence startup’s chief financial officer, responsible for overseeing its AI infrastructure, a company spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday.

Liberatore, who left Xai in July after just three months on the job, will report to CFO Sarah Friar and work with Greg Brockman’s team, which is tasked with scaling Openai’s access to compute, a spokesperson said.

CNBC, which first reported the news, said Liberatore will begin his role on Tuesday.

Liberatore, who is also a former Airbnb CEO, was involved in XAI’s $5 billion debt raise and a separate $5 billion strategic equity investment in June.

His appointment comes amid a rivalry between Musk’s company and Openai, as well as a fierce battle among tech companies for AI talent.

Openai co-founder Musk sued the company and its CEO Sam Altman last year for allegedly abandoning its original mission to benefit humanity. Openai sued Musk in April for harassment.
