Tech guru Sam Altman out as CEO at ChatGPT's Open AI
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence (AI) company known for creating ChatGPT, said on Friday that Sam Altman would be stepping down as CEO after a review found that he “was not consistently candid in his communications with the board.”
Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will take over in the meantime, the company said in a statement.
“OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity,” the board of directors said in statement. “The board remains fully committed to serving this mission.”
“We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI,” it continued. “At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward.”
