BREAKING:Sam Altman to return as OpenAI CEO, days after he was fired
OpenAI on Wednesday (Nov 22) said that it has reached an agreement for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.
OpenAI on Monday named ex-Twitch boss Emmett Shear as interim CEO, while outgoing chief Sam Altman moved to backer Microsoft.
The company fired Altman in a surprise move last Friday. Before the weekend was over, OpenAI investor Microsoft hired him and Greg Brockman, another co-founder of the startup.
But things appeared fluid, as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told media on Monday "irrespective of where Sam is, he's working with Microsoft" and that governance at OpenAI needed to change.
Altman's ouster started a revolt at the company. Nearly all of its more than 700 employees threatened to quit in a letter demanding the resignation of the board and reinstatement of Altman and Brockman.
