OpenAI Fires CEO Sam Altman
In a sudden turn of events, Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the developer of AI chatbot ChatGPT. The company’s board cited a loss of confidence in Altman’s leadership abilities as the reason for his dismissal. Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati will serve as the interim CEO, with the company planning to conduct a search for a permanent successor.
Following the announcement of his departure, Altman expressed his fondness for his time at OpenAI and hinted at future plans. It was also revealed that Altman had been in the process of raising a venture capital fund to focus on “hard tech”.
OpenAI President and co-founder Greg Brockman has stepped down as chairman of the board but will remain with the company. Despite the leadership shakeup, Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI, has expressed its commitment to the partnership, stating that it will continue to work with Mira and her team.
Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella emphasized the company’s long-term agreement with OpenAI and its dedication to delivering the benefits of AI technology to the world. Mira Murati, who has been part of OpenAI’s leadership team for five years, is described as bringing a unique skill set and understanding of the company’s operations and values.
In a statement, the board of directors expressed gratitude for Altman’s contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI but emphasized the need for new leadership to move the company forward.
