OpenAI is in “intense discussions” to unify its divided staff, Vice President of Global Affairs Anna Makanju wrote late Monday in an internal memo.
Makanju aimed the message at employees who have grown anxious after days of tumult following the ouster of Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and the board’s surprise appointment of former Twitch chief Emmett Shear as his interim replacement.
Company management is in touch with Altman, Shear and the company’s board, “but they are not prepared to give us a final response this evening,” Makanju wrote.
Earlier on Monday, most of the staff signed a letter saying they would quit if the board does not resign and re-hire Altman, who was hired by Microsoft Corp., OpenAI’s largest shareholder, to run a new artificial intelligence team.
