Chief technology officer Mira Murati appointed interim CEO to lead OpenAI; Sam Altman departs the company. Search process underway to identify permanent successor.
The fiduciary duty of the board was not profit. They’re required by charter to make sure the company advances ai safely. 4 of the board members have no investment in the company at all.
OpenAI’s original mission was extremely serious: to ensure the wide proliferation of AI to ensure a multipolar ecosystem instead of a monopolar one, to force AI to learn to play nice via parity with other AIs.
I was amazed that an organization existed which recognized this hard to swallow but ultra important fact.
They make it sound like all the for profit stuff was Sam Altman and they just wanna make cool tech.
