Fired OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will return to run the company he co-founded, following days of speculation and turmoil at the leading generative artificial intelligence start-up.
In a dramatic reversal, Altman, who was fired by OpenAI’s board of directors last week, will be reinstated under the supervision of a new board.
Greg Brockman, the co-founder and president who quit the company on Friday after Altman was fired, will return alongside him.
Under an “agreement in principle”, Altman will serve under the supervision of a new board of directors.
