Sam Altman’s unexpected comeback as the CEO of OpenAI on Tuesday, following his recent dismissal, marks the culmination of a turbulent phase that exposed significant conflicts within the Artificial Intelligence community. The board that fired Altman as CEO of ChatGPT’s creator has been almost completely replaced following a worker revolt, cementing his position at the helm of the company. The only survivor in the boardroom in the new Altman era is Adam D’Angelo, CEO of the question-and-answer website Quora. He will be joined by former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor and…

OpenAI, along with its co-founder Sam Altman, has had an eventful week. Altman, who helped launch OpenAI as a nonprofit research lab in 2015, was ousted as CEO on Friday in an abrupt and mostly unexplained departure that stunned the industry. And while his CEO title was quickly reinstated just days later, there are still plenty of questions in the air. If you’re new to the OpenAI saga and the danger of the entire AI space, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a summary of what you need to…

Less than five days after being unexpectedly dismissed, Sam Altman is making a comeback to lead OpenAI. This sudden turn of events has sparked a battle for his talent, causing turmoil within the company and exposing significant disagreements among the board members regarding the startup’s mission, despite its immense value. OpenAI’s new interim board, of which Altman was not originally a member, will be led by Bret Taylor, the former CEO of Salesforce Inc. Other directors include Larry Summers, former US Treasury Secretary, and current member Adam D’. Angelo, Founder…

The reinstatement of Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman by OpenAI came as a response to the threat of mass resignations from numerous employees. This incident underscores the significant influence that highly valued workers in the tech industry currently possess. AI engineers earn 8-12.5% more than non-AI engineers, according to an analysis published in May by compensation data platform Levels.fyi. The most common salary range for engineering positions listed on OpenAI’s website is $200,000 to $370,000, although a handful of specialized roles are advertised at between $300,000 and $450,000, said Roger…

OpenAI has recently made an announcement regarding the expansion of ChatGPT, a widely used chatbot powered by generative artificial intelligence. The new capabilities that were introduced in September have now been made accessible worldwide. One particularly intriguing feature, which allows users to interact with ChatGPT using voice commands, will be available to all users, regardless of whether they are subscribed to the premium version or using the free version. These voice capabilities will be accessible through the mobile app version of the platform. The company announced the feature in an…

In contrast to Google, Facebook, and other tech giants, the creators of ChatGPT established it as a nonprofit organization rather than a business, aiming to ensure its independence from commercial influences. But the arrangement became complicated. Although OpenAI later transitioned to a for-profit model, its controlling shareholder remains the non-profit OpenAI Inc. and its board of directors. That unique structure allowed four OpenAI board members — the company’s chief scientist, two outside tech entrepreneurs and an academic — to oust CEO Sam Altman on Friday. The sudden departure of one…

The OpenAI saga is reaching its conclusion with a surprising twist: Sam Altman is set to return as the CEO, accompanied by a new board. This means that Altman will not be joining Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to lead their AI research team, as previously announced. The decision comes after reports of widespread resignations within the company, with approximately 500 employees demanding Altman’s reinstatement. As a result, interim CEO Emmett Shear’s tenure will come to an end. It remains uncertain whether Greg Brockman will also rejoin OpenAI alongside the CEO.…

OpenAI has appointed the former head of Twitch as its interim CEO, a few days after the company ousted its renowned leader Sam Altman. This move has caused significant disruption in the field of artificial intelligence. Emmett Shear announced his new role Monday morning at X, formerly known as Twitter, while admitting that the “process and communication” surrounding Altman’s firing on Friday was “handled very poorly” and undermined trust in the company. When it abruptly fired Altman, OpenAI said in an internal review that the 38-year-old “was not consistently honest…

The workplace has been a subject of controversy when it comes to artificial intelligence. Concerns have arisen as the reliance on AI continues to increase, with many fearing that it will eventually replace a significant number of jobs. However, recent research indicates that AI has actually enhanced employee productivity, and by 2033, it may even lead to a reduction in working hours from 40 to 32 hours per week, but only for a third of the workforce. Furthermore, there is a belief that the implementation of AI could result in…
