Sam Altman has been reinstated as the CEO of OpenAI after being fired by the board of directors and subsequently firing them. The decision comes after a mass revolt by staff members who threatened to leave for Microsoft. The board itself split, with one member having second thoughts due to the staff protest. Altman’s return as CEO comes with a newly constituted board. The battle for control of OpenAI highlights the divide between those advocating caution in AI development and those who want it to grow naturally.
