OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has removed CEO Sam Altman, citing a lack of consistent candor hindering board communication. Mira Murati, OpenAI’s CTO, takes over as interim CEO. Altman, a key figure in AI, played a crucial role in OpenAI’s growth, turning it into a significant AI company. The departure surprised many, impacting OpenAI’s closely held shares on the secondary market. Microsoft, OpenAI’s major backer, affirmed its commitment, with CEO Satya Nadella expressing support. OpenAI’s recent success with ChatGPT and DALL-E brings generative AI to the mainstream. Murati emphasized continued focus on OpenAI’s progress and contributions to AI’s positive future.
