OpenAI Set to Reinstate Sam Altman as CEO Alongside Newly Appointed Board Members

23/11/2023

OpenAI has reportedly reached an agreement for the return of Sam Altman as CEO, reversing its earlier decision to terminate him. The new arrangement includes a revised board with Bret Taylor as chairman, along with Larry Summers and Adam D'Angelo. This decision comes just two days after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hired Altman for a new AI research team. Altman expressed his love for OpenAI and withdrew from the Microsoft role, emphasizing his commitment to returning to OpenAI and strengthening the partnership with Microsoft. The move follows a letter signed by a significant number of OpenAI employees expressing dissatisfaction with Altman's initial termination.
