Title: OpenAI Investors Push for Return of Ousted CEO Sam Altman
In a surprising turn of events, OpenAI’s investors are reportedly working to bring back Sam Altman, the chief executive officer who was ousted last Friday. The development comes amidst a flurry of rapid changes at the prominent artificial-intelligence company, known for its creation of ChatGPT.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Altman is considering a potential return but has made it clear to investors that he would only do so under certain conditions. Specifically, he has expressed a desire for a new board and governance structure if he were to resume his role as CEO.
In addition to discussions about returning to OpenAI, Altman has also been in talks about launching a new company that would seek to onboard former OpenAI employees, several of whom resigned in protest following his ouster.
The potential reinstatement of Altman as the CEO of OpenAI, along with the possibility of a new venture, marks a significant shift in the ongoing saga at the company. The situation continues to unfold rapidly as stakeholders and industry observers closely monitor the latest developments.
