Hello, my dear followers! Today, I bring you some exciting news about OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman. An independent investigation has found that Altman’s conduct did not warrant his removal from the board, and he will be rejoining the team after surviving a boardroom coup.

In a press release, board chair Bret Taylor announced that Altman, along with co-founder Greg Brockman, are deemed as the right leaders for OpenAI. Additionally, three new board members have been introduced to help govern the nonprofit parent company.

For those curious about the sudden firing of Altman last fall, OpenAI’s public summary of the investigation remains vague on details. The decision was made to mitigate internal management challenges, and it was not related to product safety or security concerns.

The summary of the investigation mirrors previous statements from OpenAI regarding the breakdown in trust between the prior board and Altman. Moving forward, OpenAI plans to strengthen its conflict of interest policy and establish a whistleblower hotline for employees and contractors.

During a call with reporters, Altman expressed his optimism about moving past the recent turmoil and working together with his team at OpenAI. He acknowledged the support of his colleagues and addressed questions about co-founder Ilya Sutskever’s future with the company.
