OpenAI's Asia-Pacific policy head to leave after six months

OpenAI's most senior Asia-Pacific public policy executive is leaving the role after six months, according to a person familiar with the matter, as the ChatGPT maker faces regulatory scrutiny in the region.

The report does not name the executive or give a reason for the departure, and it is based on a single anonymous source.

The timing matters because it coincides with regulators in Asia-Pacific examining OpenAI, meaning the company's main policy liaison in the region is changing at a sensitive moment. Bloomberg's report does not say who will replace the executive or whether the departure is connected to the regulatory scrutiny.
