OpenAI’s Sam Altman returning to board after probe into company turmoil

Al Jazeera  

Investigation by outside law firm into Altman’s firing finds his conduct ‘did not mandate removal.’ OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman will return to the company’s board of directors after a probe into his brief sacking and subsequent rehiring. An investigation by law firm WilmerHale found that Altman’s conduct “did not mandate his removal” last year, OpenAI said in a blog post on Friday. Altman’s firing was instead due to a “breakdown in the relationship and loss of trust” between the 38-year-old entrepreneur and the previous board, the company said. “WilmerHale found that the prior Board acted within its broad discretion to terminate Mr. Altman, but also found that his conduct did not mandate removal,” the company said in a summary of the report. I assume a genuine belief in the crucial importance of getting right from everyone involved.” Ex-board members Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, who voted to fire Altman before being pushed out upon his return, wished OpenAI and the new board success while stressing the need for accountability when dealing with “potentially world-changing” technology.
