Sam Altman Back on OpenAI's Board After He Is Cleared by Investigation

OpenAI named Sam Altman, its fired-then-rehired CEO, to its board of directors Friday. It also added three women with executive experience at Sony, Meta, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Altman and three veteran business executives, all women, were named to OpenAI’s board on Friday, OpenAI announced in a blog post Friday. Sue Desmond-Hellmann, former CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Nicole Seligman, a former Sony executive; and Fidji Simo, the CEO of Instacart and former Meta executive are the others joining the board.
