Livemint · 1y

The abrupt leadership shakeup at OpenAI, a prominent artificial intelligence company, has sparked a power struggle between founder Sam Altman and the board. Altman, who was fired as CEO, is attempting to regain control of the company and has garnered support from investors and employees. He is pushing for a new board and governance structure. The reasons for Altman's initial dismissal remain unclear, with the board citing lack of candor, while Altman's allies claim it was related to disputes over AI safety and a clash with a co-founder.
