They “no longer have confidence in their ability to continue OpenAI.” This is how OpenAI justified the expulsion of boss Sam Altman (38). The company did not reveal further details about the termination, but Altman was “not always honest” with the board of directors.
Now the San Francisco company appears to have changed its mind about the 38-year-old again. As The Verge and the New York Times independently report, OpenAI would like to bring back Sam Altman. Both media rely on insiders who are well informed about the matter.
Just hours after Altman was fired, Greg Brockman, 35, president and former CEO of OpenAI, resigned. A number of high-ranking researchers are also said to have left the company with him. Then rumors began to circulate that Altman wanted to form a new company with Brockman and the researchers.
“Next world-changing company”
Many investors were excited about the idea of Altman and Brockman starting a new company after their time at OpenAI. Alfred Lin, 51, an investor in OpenAI, wrote that he looked forward to “the next world-changing company” that Altman would build. Eric Schmidt (68), former CEO of Google, said: “Sam Altman is a hero to me. He built a company from nothing to a valuation of $90 billion and changed our shared world forever.”
As a result, pressure on OpenAI’s board of directors increased dramatically. Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest investor, announced it would continue its partnership with the company. However, no one was warned about the termination and was therefore not given the opportunity to comment on it. (obf)
