Sam Altman will return as CEO to OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, capping off several days of tumultuous changes. |
Altman will resume his position as CEO, and a new board will be formed. Bret Taylor, former chair of Twitter before it was acquired by Elon Musk, will serve as its chair. Other members will include former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and Quora co-founder Adam D'Angelo, OpenAI said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. D'Angelo is the only returning member from the previous board, which ousted Altman last Friday. "We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this," OpenAI added. Altman was hired last weekend to lead a generative AI team at Microsoft along with OpenAI president Greg Brockman, who stepped down after Altman was ousted. Brockman will also be rejoining OpenAI.

"We look forward to building on our strong partnership and delivering the value of this next generation of AI to our customers and partners," Nadella said in a post on X.
