OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman has been fired from the head of artificial intelligence position by the board of directors who claimed he had communication problems.
The board said Mr. Altman had not been “consistently candid with his communications”, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.
The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI,” the company said, citing “a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities”.
It all seems shady.
Reacting to the sack, Altman only had positive things to say.
“It was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. Most of all I loved working with such talented people,” he wrote.
Mr. Brockman, who was also dismissed from the board, said the decision was taken in a matter of hours.
Mr Altman has been the face of the firm’s rise. He has been the one answering questions and representing the new technology worldwide.
In a statement posted X, Mr Brockman said: “I’m super proud of what we’ve all built together since starting in my apartment eight years ago.
“We’ve been through tough and great times together, accomplishing so much despite all the reasons it should have been impossible. But based on today’s news, I quit.”
