The "divorce" between OpenAI and the dismissed CEO Sam Altman lasted about 1 week. The company that created ChatGPT has agreed to a deal for Altman, who was replaced twice, by Albanian Mira Murati and Emmett Shear, to return as chief executive after the board decided on his departure.
Altman's return comes after a revolt by OpenAI staff, who all threatened to resign.
The vast majority of them said they would leave and work for Microsoft if the board members did not resign and if Altman and his ally and company president Greg Brockman, who left in solidarity with the CEO, did not to return to duty.
After leaving, the pair were hired by Microsoft, OpenAI's largest investor, on a new artificial intelligence (AI) research project.
Brockman was enthusiastic about the deal, saying he was "getting back to coding."
Meanwhile, Altman said, " I love OpenAI, and everything I've done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. When I decided to join Microsoft on Sunday night, it was It was clearly the best path for me and the team. With the new board and the support of Satya [Microsoft CEO], I look forward to returning to OpenAI and building on our strong partnership with Microsoft. "
Thus, the return agreement "in principle" also includes the installation of a new board of directors.
It will be chaired by former Salesforce CEO and Google Maps co-creator Bret Taylor and Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo.
The board, which operates on a non-profit basis unlike conventional boards, will also include former US Treasury Secretary and economics professor Larry Summers.
In a post on the X platform, OpenAI announced: " We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new board consisting of Bret Taylor (Chairman), Larry Summers and Adam D'Angelo. "
OpenAI's board operates on a non-commercial basis, unlike the company, as it was originally founded as a non-profit organization with the goal of building safe and useful AI "for the benefit of humanity". (A2 Televizion)
