OpenAI on Tuesday said it reached an agreement for Sam Altman to return as CEO days after his ouster, capping frenzied discussions about the future of the startup at the centre of the artificial intelligence boom, reports Reuters.
Altman said in a post on X, “i'm looking forward to returning to openai.”
In addition to Altman's return, the company agreed in principle to partly reconstitute the board of directors that had dismissed him.
Bret Taylor, formerly co-CEO of Salesforce, and Larry Summers, former US Treasury Secretary, will join Quora CEO and current director Adam D'Angelo, OpenAI said.
The board had given few details explaining Altman's firing on Friday, other than his lack of candor and its need to defend OpenAI's mission developing AI to benefit humanity.
