OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has found itself in turmoil following the firing of its co-founder and now former CEO.
Sam Altman was pushed out by the board of directors last Friday and quickly scooped up by Microsoft to head up a new artificial-intelligence division.
Altman’s firing quickly led to the resignation of Greg Brockman as president, setting in motion an eventful weekend that saw OpenAI name new interim CEO, only to replace them with another individual later.
The story took another turn Monday with majority of employees threatening to quit unless the four-board members resign and Altman returns to the helm.
Here is what’s happening at OpenAI.
When it announced Altman’s firing, OpenAI said the board carried out a “deliberative review process” that found the 38-year-old was “not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.”
The company added the board “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”
Altman helped bring ChatGPT to global fame based on its ability to respond to questions and produce human-like text in a seemingly natural way. In the past year, he has become Silicon Valley’s most in-demand voice on the promise and potential dangers of AI.
