A new report claims the board of directors for OpenAI is now in talks to bring Sam Altman back as its CEO, one day after the board fired Altman. The story says Altman is „ambivalent” about returning.
Friday’s announcement that OpenAI’s board of directors fired its co-founder and CEO Sam Altman out of the blue shook the entire tech industry. Now there’s a new report claiming that the company’s board is actually in talks to bring Altman back to his former role.
The report comes from The Verge, citing unnamed sources. There’s no word on exactly why OpenAI’s board might be willing to do a 180 on Friday’s decision. It does claim Altman himself is „ambivalent” about returning to the CEO role. It also claims that if he did return, there would have to be „significant governance changes“ at the company.
