OpenAI on Wednesday said that it has reached an agreement for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.
“I am looking forward to returning to OpenAI,” Sam Altman said in a post on X.
OpenAI on Monday named ex-Twitch boss Emmett Shear as interim CEO, while outgoing chief Sam Altman moved to Microsoft.
Tech blog Wired had reported that 490 employees of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, may quit and find jobs at the “newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman” if the board does not resign.
“The process through which you terminated Sam Altman and removed Greg Brockman from the board has jeopardized all of this work and undermined our mission and company,” the employees wrote in the letter, adding, “Your conduct has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAI.”
The latest data from The Information indicates OpenAI has more than 700 employees. A potential mass exodus could have sparked disastrous consequences for OpenAI.
