By the close of 2023, Sam Altman found himself stepped down as CEO of OpenAI, following allegations from the board regarding a lack of transparency in his leadership, management, and initiatives.
As a tech enthusiast, I’ve been closely following the news about the reinstatement of Sam Altman as the CEO of OpenAI, a move that came after an overwhelming outcry from the company’s employees who passionately expressed “OpenAI is nothing without its people.” However, the specific details leading up to his temporary removal from the position have yet to be fully disclosed.
According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), there appears to be further insight into the matter. Notably, it seems that Microsoft’s significant collaboration with OpenAI may be relevant.
The report states that Microsoft prematurely tested an early version of OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-4 model in India, which raised concerns about confidentiality since the company hadn’t received necessary approval from the joint safety committee before publicly presenting the model globally.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the details of the matter were not presented to the board; instead, it was disclosed later by an employee to an independent board member, following a board meeting. Notably, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was present at the gathering, yet he didn’t disclose the information.
The report additionally emphasized a statement from a member of the OpenAI board, suggesting that the profit and returns from OpenAI’s Startup Fund, established in 2021 for investing in AI businesses, are not being distributed to the fund’s investors.
Originally, it was thought that the Startup Fund was overseen by OpenAI, but according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, it actually belonged to Sam Altman.
In other reports, it was mentioned that Ilya Sutskever, one of OpenAI’s co-founders, along with Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati, were gathering information on inappropriate conduct attributed to Sam Altman within the organization.
In a screenshot claimed to be from Murati’s Slack channel, it was suggested that Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, had been informed by the company’s legal team that GPT-4 Turbo wouldn’t require scrutiny by the joint safety board. Yet, OpenAI’s lead lawyer denied these accusations.
This report uncovers fresh insights suggesting potential reasons behind Altman’s unexpected departure from OpenAI in the role of CEO. The company has experienced notable resignations among top-tier officials over the recent past, with some attributing their exit to an alleged focus on flashy products at the expense of prioritizing safety protocols.
Initially, Murati and Sutskever supported Altman’s reinstatement alongside their colleagues. However, they subsequently departed from the company and established independent AI ventures, aiming at creating “safe” artificial superintelligence.
