San Francisco, November 22: The ousted leader of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is returning to the company that fired him late last week, culminating a days-long power struggle that shocked the tech industry and brought attention to the conflicts around how to safely build artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI said in a statement late Tuesday: 슬롯사이트œWe have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board.슬롯사이트�
The board, which replaces the one that fired Altman on Friday, will be led by former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor, who also chaired Twitter's board before its takeover by Elon Musk last year. The other members will be former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo.
OpenAI's previous board of directors, which included D'Angelo, had refused to give specific reasons for why it fired Altman, leading to a weekend of internal conflict at the company and growing outside pressure from the startup's investors.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Emmett Shear Reacts to Return of Sam Altman as OpenAI CEO, Says 'Deeply Pleased by Result After 72 Very Intense Hours of Work'.
The chaos also accentuated the differences between Altman 슬롯사이트� who's become the face of generative AI's rapid commercialisation since ChatGPT's arrival a year ago 슬롯사이트� and members of the company's board who have expressed deep reservations about the safety risks posed by AI as it gets more advanced.
Microsoft, which has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI and has rights to its current technology, quickly moved to hire Altman on Monday, as well as another co-founder and former president, Greg Brockman, who had quit in protest after Altman's removal.
That emboldened a threatened exodus of nearly all of the startup's 770 employees who signed a letter calling for the board's resignation and Altman's return. One of the four board members who participated in Altman's ouster, OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, later expressed regret and joined the call for the board's resignation.
Microsoft in recent days had pledged to welcome all employees who wanted to follow Altman and Brockman to a new AI research unit at the software giant. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also made clear in a series of interviews on Monday that he was still open to the possibility of Altman returning to OpenAI, so long as the startup's governance problems are solved.
슬롯사이트œWe are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board,슬롯사이트� Nadella posted on X late Tuesday. 슬롯사이트œWe believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance.슬롯사이트� In his own post, Altman said that 슬롯사이트œwith the new board and (with) Satya's support, I'm looking forward to returning to OpenAI, and building on our strong partnership with (Microsoft).슬롯사이트�
Co-founded by Altman as a nonprofit with a mission to safely build so-called artificial general intelligence that outperforms humans and benefits humanity, OpenAI later became a for-profit business but one still run by its nonprofit board of directors. It's not clear yet if the board's structure will change with its newly appointed members. 슬롯사이트œWe are collaborating to figure out the details,슬롯사이트� OpenAI posted on X. 슬롯사이트œThank you so much for your patience through this.슬롯사이트�
Nadella said Brockman, who was OpenAI's board chairman until Altman's firing, will also have a key role to play in ensuring the group 슬롯사이트œcontinues to thrive and build on its mission슬롯사이트�. Hours earlier, Brockman returned to social media as if it were business as usual, touting a feature called ChatGPT Voice that was rolling out to users.
슬롯사이트œGive it a try 슬롯사이트� totally changes the ChatGPT experience,슬롯사이트� Brockman wrote, flagging a post from OpenAI's main X account that featured a demonstration of the technology and playfully winking at recent turmoil. 슬롯사이트œIt's been a long night for the team and we're hungry. How many 16-inch pizzas should I order for 778 people,슬롯사이트� the person asks, using the number of people who work at OpenAI. ChatGPT's synthetic voice responded by recommending around 195 pizzas, ensuring everyone gets three slices.
As for OpenAI's short-lived interim CEO Emmett Shear, the second interim CEO in the days since Altman's ouster, he posted on X that he was 슬롯사이트œdeeply pleased by this result, after (tilde)72 very intense hours of work슬롯사이트�.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Satya Nadella Welcomes Sam Altman's Return as OpenAI CEO, Changes in Board; Says Microsoft Looks Forward To Building Strong Partnership.
