OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was ousted from his position for four days after a letter from staff researchers warned of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that could threaten humanity, according to Reuters. The letter and AI algorithm catalyzed Altman’s removal, and before his return, over 700 employees threatened to quit in solidarity. The letter was one of many grievances by the board that led to Altman’s firing, and while Reuters was unable to review the letter, OpenAI declined to comment. Long-time executive Mira Murati stated that the letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* played a significant role in the board’s decisions. Q* is a potential breakthrough in OpenAI’s search for superintelligence, with some believing it could surpass human intelligence. The new model was able to solve mathematical problems, leading researchers to have high hopes for its future success. However, Reuters was unable to verify the claimed capabilities of Q* by the researchers.
