Sam Altman has returned as the CEO of OpenAI after a five-day absence, resulting in changes to the company’s board. The new all-male board includes Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo. OpenAI is working out the details of Altman’s reinstatement. The previous board, which prompted Altman’s departure, consisted of Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner, and Adam D’Angelo. The board has not publicly disclosed the specific reasons for Altman’s removal. A potentially worrisome future product codenamed “Q*” might be involved. The dramatic events that unfolded at OpenAI included Altman being removed as CEO, subsequent resignations, and the temporary appointment of Mira Murati and Brad Lightcap.
Over 500 workers, 95% of OpenAI’s personnel, express their willingness to accompany former CEO Sam Altman to Microsoft, where he planned to establish a new artificial intelligence enterprise. After that strong showing of employee support for Altman, he was reinstated as CEO, much to the satisfaction of OpenAI employees, investors, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who has expressed his support for Altman’s decisions. Being the majority investor, Microsoft will continue to benefit from Altman’s leadership in developing OpenAI’s advanced language models.
