Hundreds of OpenAI employees have demanded that the board of the company that created ChatGPT be fired. Also, they have threatened to resign themselves after the dismissal of the CEO, Sam Altman.
In a letter obtained by CNN, more than 500 of the company's employees have accused OpenAI's board of directors of not providing enough evidence to justify firing the former executive who has since been hired by Microsoft.
"Your actions have made it clear that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAI," the employees wrote in their letter.
"We cannot work with people who lack competence, judgment and care for our mission and employees."
Employees also warned they would follow Altman to Microsoft unless the board resigns and reinstates Altman and Greg Brockman, the former president of OpenAI, who was also removed from the board on Friday.
Among the signatories is Mira Murati, who until Friday had been named by the board as Altman's interim successor, as well as Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's co-founder, chief scientist and board member, who was widely reported to have played a role in firing Altman.
The promotion of Albanian Mira Murati, who replaced interim CEO Emmett Shear, was put on hold. (A2 Televizion)
