Key Departures at OpenAI
OpenAI recently removed its founder Sam Altman from his position as CEO leading to a tempestuous atmosphere within the company. Specializing in artificial intelligence, OpenAI saw three senior researchers resigning in the wake of Altman’s ousting.
The board of directors of OpenAI publicly announced the removal of Altman due to his failure to communicate transparently with them which they claim hindered their decision-making. Mira Murati was then appointed as the interim CEO.
Employee Exodus
Following Altman’s removal, several employees have resigned, with co-founder and president Greg Brockman being the first. Alex Cohen, let go simultaneously with Altman, expected further resignations, estimating that nearly 40% of employees were seeking new roles.
Disagreements and New Opportunities
It is speculated that Altman’s departure was a result of a disagreement with Ilya Sutskever over fundraising and further artificial intelligence development. Although his next moves are uncertain, Altman has been approached to join new projects, with Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson inviting him to join the ecosystem.
Hot Take: Altman’s Future
