About Sam Altman’s removal from OpenAI:

OpenAI announced that it dismissed CEO Sam Altman as they no longer trusted him to lead the company. In a statement, the board said that Altman’s departure “follows a deliberative review process,” which concluded that “he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”

Soon after Altman’s removal from OpenAI, Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft confirmed that he would be joining the company. Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear, meanwhile, confirmed his appointment as the new CEO of OpenAI.
