OpenAI Internal Conflict Escalates: Altman Unable to Return, Former Twitch CEO Takes Over
2023-11-20
OpenAI's internal struggle continues to escalate, with the latest news stating that former Twitch CEO and co-founder Emmett Shear has been appointed as interim CEO, while the return of former CEO Sam Altman is hindered.
According to reports, on Sunday evening, OpenAI board member Ilya Sutskever informed employees that Altman would not be able to resume his role as CEO, and Shear would temporarily take over the company. Prior to this, Altman had negotiations with the board and investors over the weekend, but no agreement was reached.
This change stems from last Friday when the OpenAI board announced the dismissal of Altman and his removal from the board, citing his lack of honesty in communication with the board, which affected the board's functions. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati has been appointed as interim CEO. Altman expressed on social media that he enjoys working at OpenAI and has more to say.
It is reported that Altman has revealed to investors his plan to create a new AI company, with former President Greg Brockman possibly joining. Altman is conflicted about returning to OpenAI and hopes to change the company's governance structure. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has also had discussions with Altman, hoping that he will return to OpenAI on Monday. Altman also met with Brockman and other executives at OpenAI's San Francisco headquarters as a "visitor."
