On Friday, OpenAI fired CEO Sam Altman<\/a> in a surprise move that led to the resignation<\/a> of President Greg Brockman and three senior scientists<\/a>. The move also blindsided key investor and minority owner Microsoft, reportedly<\/a> making CEO Satya Nadella furious. As Friday night wore on, reports emerged<\/a> that the ousting was likely orchestrated by Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever over concerns about the safety and speed of OpenAI’s tech deployment.<\/p>\n

“This was the board doing its duty to the mission of the nonprofit, which is to make sure that OpenAI builds AGI that benefits all of humanity,” Sutskever told employees at an emergency all-hands meeting on Friday afternoon, as reported by The Information<\/a>.<\/p>\n
