OpenAI Board Removes Altman as CEO

Sam Altman is out as CEO of OpenAI, the company’s board of directors announced Friday. The decision to remove him follows the board's “deliberative” review, it said. The board said it concluded Altman “was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.” Altman has made several high-profile appearances on Capitol Hill as CEO (see 2305170045 and 2309130061). Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati will serve as interim CEO, the board said.
