Sam Altman, the face of the tech industry’s current embrace of artificial intelligence, has been ousted by OpenAI‘s board of directors.
The tech firm said Friday that Altman had been let go after a board-initiated review found that he had been “not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.” A blog post added that the board “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI..” He was replaced on an interim basis by Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati.
Released about a year ago, the most recent version of OpenAI program ChatGPT took the concept of generative AI out of the laboratory and into the living room. Students working on term papers, professional workers developing presentations and millions of others suddenly had access to a new trove of resources, though it came with significant strings attached. As OpenAI’s valuation soared and Altman and other champions of ChatGPT espoused its potential to drive efficiencies and help speed cumbersome processes in areas like health care and other key parts of society, some painted a much darker picture. A group of tech leaders, including Elon Musk, earlier this year called for a pause in AI development pending a more thorough review of its potential to do harm.
OpenAI had reportedly held talks with investors recently for a new fundraising round valuing the company at $80 billion, making it one of the world’s most valuable startups.
