Sam Altman to Return as OpenAI CEO
Sam Altman is set to return as the CEO of OpenAI, following a week of intense discussions and debates after his sudden dismissal. OpenAI, a leading AI startup, has reached an agreement in principle for Altman's return and is reforming its board. The new board will include Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo. Microsoft, which owns about 49% of OpenAI, was surprised by the initial decision to dismiss Altman and had moved to hire him for a new AI group. Altman's return is supported by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who emphasizes the importance of stable and effective governance at OpenAI. The previous board faced public scrutiny and potential legal challenges from investors for their abrupt decision to dismiss Altman.
