Sam Altman rejoins OpenAI’s board after investigation into sudden firing


Altman will rejoin OpenAI’s board after an independent investigation found that the circumstances of his sudden firing ‘did not mandate removal.’

An independent investigation commissioned by OpenAI has found that CEO Sam Altman’s conduct “did not mandate removal” when he was suddenly fired in November. They will join Taylor, Altman, Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, and Larry Summers in governing OpenAI’s nonprofit parent company. In a press release, Taylor said the law firm WilmerHale interviewed board members, company employees, and “reviewed more than 30,000 documents” to reach the conclusion that Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman “are the right leaders for OpenAI.”
