Ex-OpenAI board member reveals what led to Sam Altman's brief ousting

Helen Toner reveals explosive details about Sam Altman's ousting as OpenAI CEO in November, accusing him of lying to the board.

She said that made it "basically impossible" for the board to understand if the safety measures were sufficient or if any changes were needed. But then, last October, the board had a number of conversations where two executives detailed their own experiences with Altman in which they used the phrase "psychological abuse," according to Toner. In an interview with Bilawal Sidhu on"The Ted AI Show," which aired Tuesday, Toner said Altman had lied to the board multiple times.
