OpenAI fires co-founder and CEO Sam Altman for lying to company board​

AI firm’s board said Altman was ‘not consistently candid in his communications with the board’ and had lost its confidence

OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman was fired for lying to the board of his company, according to an announcement issued Friday.

A statement from the company reads, “Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.” Mira Murati, OpenAI’s CTO, will become interim CEO in his place, according to the statement.

Altman became one of the most important people in the artificial intelligence world after his company released ChatGPT in November 2022, a generative AI chatbot that accrued more than 100 million users in less than a year.

More details soon …

Damn a Friday afternoon too......


Shit I hope more details come out before Monday...

OpenAI was partly his brain child, Altman and Elon had a public beef, (when Musk was on the board) which led to Musk cutting his donations and ties to OpenAI and forming his own AI company.
 
What people really need to be paying attention to there was an argument over having controls and oversight in place. Greed and profits will be the undoing of everything compute related...
