Breaking: OpenAI CEO Mira Murati Plans To Rehire Sam Altman And Greg Brockman

OpenAI’s interim chief executive officer Mira Murati has plans to bring back ousted Sam Altman and former President Greg Brockman in a capacity, according to sources familiar with the matter. However, the decision is yet to be finalized as the board also seeks a chief executive officer (CEO) for the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot.

Mira Murati Plans To Bring Back Sam Altman And Greg Brockman

According to people with direct knowledge of the matter, Mira Murati aims to rehire Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, reported Bloomberg on November 20. Murati, named interim CEO on Friday, is negotiating with Adam D’Angelo, the CEO of Quora Inc., acting representative of the OpenAI board. The negotiations are private and remain fluid.

After the board fired Sam Altman, Greg Brockman quit the board due to disagreement with the board members. Other employees of the firm also quit in protest of Altman’s exit. The OpenAI board has faced a lot of criticism from the tech community and the company’s investors over its decision to remove Altman as CEO.

Meanwhile, interim CEO Mira Murati invited Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to join executives at the company’s San Francisco headquarters on Sunday.

Board Selects Twitch As New Interim CEO

Amid negotiations to rehire Altman and Brockman, the board is simultaneously seeking a new CEO for OpenAI. However, Microsoft said to join the OpenAI board only if Sam Altman is back at the firm. Meanwhile, Altman is considering launching a new artificial intelligence (AI) venture.

The board has appointed Emmett Shear, co-founder of video streaming site Twitch, to take over as interim CEO.
