**OpenAI Pushes Out CEO Sam Altman**
The board of OpenAI has ousted co-founder and CEO Sam Altman after finding that he was “not consistently candid in his communications” with the board. The board has lost confidence in Altman’s ability to lead the company and has appointed Mira Murati as interim CEO.
Altman helped start OpenAI in 2015, but his alleged lack of candor has raised concerns and led to his removal. He has been the face of OpenAI, but a review of his behavior found that it was hindering the board’s ability to carry out its responsibilities.
A spokesperson for OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the details of Altman’s lack of candor.
Altman’s prediction of AI being the greatest leap forward of any technological revolution was in the spotlight just a day before his ousting. The company announced that Greg Brockman is stepping down as chairman of the board but will remain in his role at the company, reporting to the CEO.
Microsoft, a key business partner of OpenAI, has stated that the transition won’t affect its relationship and that it remains committed to the company.
This ousting is a shocking turn of events for OpenAI and raises questions about the future of the company. What will be next for OpenAI after this major change in leadership? Share your thoughts and comment below.
