LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is stepping down from the board of ChatGPT maker OpenAI as his venture capital firm increasingly invests in other artificial intelligence companies, including those building on top of OpenAI’s products.

“With all the possibilities ahead, it’s important to think beyond any one application, company, industry when it comes to AI, because I believe its impact will be on a much greater magnitude,” Hoffman wrote in a post on LinkedIn. Hoffman is a partner at Greylock Partners and a board member at Microsoft Corp., which bought LinkedIn in 2016 and backs OpenAI.
