Within days of firing CEO Sam Altman over a lack of “candor in his communications,” OpenAI’s board is reportedly negotiating to bring him back to the company.
Within days of firing CEO Sam Altman over a lack of “candor in his communications,” OpenAI’s board is reportedly negotiating to bring him back to the company.
Altman posted a selfie on Monday, wearing an OpenAI guest badge and captioned the picture, saying this was the “first and last time” he would ever wear that badge.
No official statements have been issued regarding Altman’s possible return, or what kind of role he will play in the company even if he does so. However, Altman may be looking to obtain a statement that absolves him of any wrong-doing and firing the existing OpenAI board, per a Bloomberg report.
The composition of the new board is reportedly the main point of contention. One of the mediators in this negotiation could be Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Bloomberg added.

OpenAI announced on Friday that Altman would depart as CEO and leave the board of directors, to be replaced by the company’s Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati, as interim CEO.
According to OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap, Altman had been fired due to a communication breakdown between him and the board, rather than any issue relating to safety or any malicious acts, Reuters reported.
