OpenAI CEO Removed after APEC AI Forum
In a surprising turn of events, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been removed from his position, as announced by the AI company on Friday. The decision came after a review by the board, which revealed that Altman had not consistently been candid in his communications with the board, thereby hindering its ability to fulfill its responsibilities.
OpenAI stated that the board no longer had confidence in Altman’s leadership abilities, leading to his removal as CEO and departure from the company’s board of directors. This significant development comes just one day after Altman spoke at an APEC forum on artificial intelligence, highlighting the rapid nature of this decision.
In the interim, Mira Murati, Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI, will assume the role of interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent successor to Altman.
