OpenAI Fires CEO Sam Altman
CTO Mira Murati has been named interim CEO of OpenAI. She will lead the company in the ongoing search process to identify a permanent successor.
Sam Altman's departure follows a “board decision review process.” It concluded that OpenAI's founder was not consistently dishonest in his dealings with the board. This in turn hindered him from fulfilling his responsibilities.
In a statement released by OpenAI, the reason for Altman's departure is that the board “has no confidence in his ability to continue to lead OpenAI.”
“OpenAI was purposefully built to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Board is fully committed to serving this mission. We thank Sam for his many contributions to the founding and development of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe that new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company's research, product and security functions, Meera is uniquely qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. “We have the utmost confidence in OPNI's ability to lead this transition,” the statement read.
