Sam Altman, one of the most prominent figures in the world of artificial intelligence, is being forced out of OpenAI — the company behind ChatGPT that he helped to create — after the board said it had lost confidence in him as a leader.
Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati will serve as OpenAI’s interim chief executive officer.
“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 company said in a statement. “The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”
OpenAI’s introduction of ChatGPT to the world turned 38-year-old Altman into an instant celebrity, winning him an audience with world leaders including US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He is an outspoken figure in the AI community, aligning himself with a camp of evangelists who’ve pioneered and advanced AI technologies while simultaneously warning of their potential to end mankind.
