Khosla Says OpenAI’s Team Is Strong, Despite Departures

Artificial intelligence startup OpenAI has a strong, very technical team in place despite the number of recent departures, said Vinod Khosla, an early investor in the company.

OpenAI was valued at $157 billion in its latest funding round, making it one of the largest VC-backed startups in the world. In an interview Friday on Bloomberg Television, Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, said that the high rate of executive turnover at the firm didn’t worry him, and that he’s a supporter of Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman.
