OpenAI has made a statement revealing that Sam Altman will return as CEO and new board members have been appointed following the significant backlash that ensued when he was unexpectedly removed from his position. According to the Delaware-based American artificial intelligence research group, the details of the agreement are currently being worked out. Altman confirmed the reinstatement and expressed his excitement to return to OpenAI.
Sacked CEO Returns to OpenAI
Altman became recognized after the introduction of ChatGPT, leading to a surge in AI research and development. His exit sparked criticism and concerns from OpenAI employees, who threatened mass resignations unless the board stepped down. The reasons behind his departure were not clearly stated but it was not due to any misconduct, financial issues, or operational problems.
Altman’s removal led to major investors, such as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, advocating for his reinstatement. After reaching an agreement in principle, OpenAI announced a new board and thanked everyone for their patience through the process.
