Sam Altman will return as CEO of OpenAI, the startup responsible for the creation and development of ChatGPT, four months after being fired from the Artificial Intelligence (AI) company.
In a statement, the company indicated that after an internal investigation into the events surrounding Altman’s dismissal, this was due to a breach of trust with the previous board of directors and not due to the alleged lack of transparency in the company’s technological development. company.
“The previous Board’s decision did not arise from concerns about product safety, the pace of development, OpenAI’s finances, or its statements to investors. Rather, it was a consequence of a breakdown in the relationship and loss of trust between the previous board and Mr. Altman,” OpenAI said in a statement.
Altman was fired in mid-November, only to be rehired after an outcry from members of the company and the support of Microsoft, a key investor in OpenAI, who backed the manager.
In addition to Altman’s return, OpenAI announced the arrival of three new members: Sue Desmond-Hellmann, former CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Nicole Seligman, former president of Sony, and Fiji Simo, head of Instacart and former head of the mobile app From Facebook.
The technology company, unlike many companies, is overseen by a nonprofit parent board designed to ensure AI safety is prioritized over growth.
Altman’s return comes after a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI for “having abandoned the original mission” of the company. It should be noted that Musk left the company in 2018.
The businessman argued in documents filed in a San Francisco court that the company was always conceived as a nonprofit entity, but with recent changes to the board of directors, OpenAI is now a subsidiary of Microsoft. The company rejected Musk’s claims.
