A new board of directors is currently being formed Sam Altman will return to the post of CEO of OpenAI after a coup attempt and his removal from this position a few days ago. Former President Greg Brockman, who resigned in protest of Altman's ouster, will also return. The company said it has an "agreement in principle" to bring back Altman along with a new board of directors consisting of Bret Taylor, Larry Summers and Adam D'Angelo. D'Angelo was on the old board of directors that fired Altman on Friday.

Their number increased overnight Already, 96% of OpenAI employees have signed a letter saying they could leave and join Sam Altman at Microsoft unless the startup's board resigns and brings back the ousted CEO along with co-founder and former president Greg Brockman. Among the signatories was Ilya Sutskever, the company's chief scientist and member of its board, who is accused of coordinating the coup against Altman. The letter was signed by 738 of OpenAI's 770 employees, or about 96%. Yesterday  there were about 600 people. Shortly before the letter was published, Sutskever wrote: “I deeply regret my participation in the actions of the board. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've created together and will do whatever it takes to bring the company back together."

Meera Murati, CTO of OpenAI, was appointed interim CEO. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella later announced that Altman and Brockman would join the tech giant to lead a new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research unit. Nadella also said he would welcome other OpenAI employees. OpenAI's board of directors decided to remove Murati and appoint another interim CEO, Emmett Shear , the former CEO of Twitch.

New details have emerged about the possible reason for the dismissal Elon Musk said the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence are so great that OpenAI, the world's most famous artificial intelligence company, must reveal the reason it fired CEO Sam Altman . OpenAI announced Altman's departure on Friday, saying only that the company behind ChatGPT "no longer has confidence in his ability to continue to lead." Musk, responding to former Yammer CEO David Sachs, said that "given the risk and power of advanced artificial intelligence, the public should be informed about why the board felt it necessary to make such a drastic decision." [caption id="attachment_83772" align="aligncenter" width="600"] OpenAI[/caption] Given the risk and power of advanced artificial intelligence, OpenAI should reveal the reason for Sam Altman’s dismissal Musk is a former OpenAI board member who left the company in 2018, citing a conflict of interest with Tesla. However, Musk later told CNBC that he was concerned about the company's possible impact on society. According to Businessinsider, a possible reason for Altman's dismissal could be the growing tension among the company's management due to the potential danger that AI poses to humanity. Altman aggressively sought funding to expand development of the technology, while several other board members urged the company to slow down. OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, who played a significant role in Altman's dismissal, pointed out the potential for AI to harm society. According to The New York Times, Sutzkever created a Super Alignment team within the company to ensure that future versions of ChatGPT will not be harmful to humanity.
