Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Johnson & Johnson's Jennifer Taubert is reportedly one of two candidates in line for the CEO spot, women are suing the New Jersey State Police for gender bias, and OpenAI supports a new tool that will help parents access paid leave. Have a terrific Tuesday!
- Power of paid leave. As ChatGPT gained popularity with consumers over the past year—and conversations about the safety risks of AI got louder—Reshma Saujani started to think about other ways AI could impact society. As the founder of Girls Who Code, she was well-connected in the tech industry, and as the leader of a new nonprofit called Moms First, these days she had one issue on her mind: paid family leave.
So Saujani reached out to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to pitch an idea: an AI tool that would help parents access paid leave. While there are plenty of parental leave fact sheets and guidelines out there, she envisioned a more comprehensive tool that would rely on the technology of ChatGPT to answer users' questions from "Do I have paid leave and how much?" to "Do I still qualify for 'birthing parent' paid leave if I have a C-section?"
