OpenAI has announced the return of CEO Sam Altman to the board and the addition of three new members: former CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Sue Desmond-Hellmann, former President of Sony Entertainment Nicole Seligman, and CEO of Instacart Fidji Simo. These new members will work alongside existing board members, including Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo, former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and former Co-CEO of Salesforce Bret Taylor.
Regarding Altman's recent events, there has been a flurry of activity. Altman was swiftly removed from the OpenAI board in November of last year, sparking significant attention and discussions. However, after an investigation by the WilmerHale law firm, it was found that Altman's actions did not constitute grounds for dismissal by the board. Board Chairman Bret Taylor stated that everyone agrees that Sam and Greg are the right leaders for OpenAI. The investigation results indicated that Altman's actions did not violate the company's safety, pace of development, or financial commitments. Instead, the dismissal was attributed to a breakdown in relationships and a loss of trust with the former board. This finding has led to a reevaluation of the entire incident, suggesting that the board's decision was not made lightly.
Altman's response to the events has also garnered attention. He apologized to The Verge reporters, acknowledging that his actions had harmed OpenAI, but remained silent on the details of the incident. Meanwhile, Altman's creation, Worldcoin, reached a historic milestone, with its stock price breaking $9.5 and currently trading at $9.71, marking a remarkable 36% increase. This breakthrough achievement not only affirms Altman but also brings more expectations and attention to OpenAI's future. |
