ChatGPT-maker OpenAI fires CEO Sam Altman, the face of the AI boom, for lack of candor with company

Associated Press  

ChatGPT-maker Open AI said Friday it has pushed out its co-founder and CEO Sam Altman after a review found he was “not consistently candid in his communications” with the board of directors. But later on X, formerly Twitter, Brockman posted a message he sent to OpenAI employees in which he wrote, “based on today’s news, i quit.” In another X post on Friday night, Brockman said Altman was asked to join a video meeting at noon Friday with the company’s board members, minus Brockman, during which OpenAI co-founder and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever informed Altman he was being fired. The company said its board consists of OpenAI’s chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, and three nonemployees: Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, tech entrepreneur Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner of the Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said he sees Altman’s firing as a “black eye” for OpenAI and one that’s likely to have ripple effects across Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
