Sam Altman returns to OpenAI after agreement reached
Sam Altman is to return to OpenAI within days of his departure and the company appointing two interim CEOs during the period, OpenAI announced in a post on X.
“We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo,” OpenAI said in an update posted to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Altman’s departure late last week from the AI startup because of a conflict with the board was the subject of much speculation, as the reasons weren’t clearly spelled out.
