Originally Published 2 years ago — by NDTV
Sam Altman has returned as the CEO of OpenAI after being fired, leading to a major reshuffle of the board. The only surviving member from the previous board is Adam D'Angelo, CEO of Quora. Altman will be joined by Bret Taylor, former co-CEO of Salesforce, and Larry Summers, former US Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University. Altman's return highlights the growing influence of Microsoft, which has invested heavily in OpenAI. The reasons for Altman's initial firing remain unclear, but concerns over OpenAI's mission and AI governance have been raised.
