Instacart boss Fidji Simo was the first member of her family to graduate from high school. Sam Altman just carved out a brand-new ‘CEO’ role for her at OpenAI

Quick Summary:

Simo told Fortune the U.S.healthcare system is not well-suited to treat rare and complex diseases, which is where AI can make an impact.

"This organization has the potential of accelerating human potential at a pace never seen before," Simo said in a statement, which Altman re-shared in a blog post.

Simo will transition from her top job at Instacart "over the next few months" and join OpenAI "later this year," according to an OpenAI blog post.
