21/11/2023

Over 500 OpenAI employees, including high-ranking executives, are protesting against the company's leadership following Sam Altman's removal as CEO. Approximately 75% of the staff have signed a letter expressing dissatisfaction with the board's decision-making and threatening to join Sam Altman's new AI venture at Microsoft. This internal turmoil is marked by the notable participation of former interim CEO Mira Murati and COO Brad Lightcap. The situation is further complicated by chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who initially supported the board but later expressed regret, adding to the internal discord within OpenAI.
