It’s hard to miss the irony that the tussle over OpenAI’s leadership was a very human affair. So I decided to ask coldhearted ChatGPT who its CEO should be. It told me, “leadership decisions can be influenced by various factors, and opinions on who should be the CEO can vary.” You can say that again, pal.

Sam Altman to return as CEO of OpenAI

What a week it’s been. After a five-day boardroom coup, Sam Altman is returning as CEO of OpenAI. Greg Brockman is also coming back as president.

Altman and Brockman will be joined by a new board comprising Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo. Their job is to extend the board to up to nine people in order to reset OpenAI’s governance. Microsoft wants a seat, as does Altman.

One of the big reasons Altman is back is the behavior of employees after he was ousted. Many of them threatened to defect to Microsoft if the board didn’t resign. For a moment, it looked like Microsoft may have been about to acquire one of the world’s most exciting and valuable companies for nothing, and with no regulatory scrutiny.
