OpenAI Board Crisis and Altman Reinstatement

OpenAI Board Crisis and Altman Reinstatement

On November 17, 2023, OpenAI's board dismissed CEO Sam Altman, citing lack of candor in communications. This immediately triggered massive upheaval within the company. Microsoft quickly announced it would take on Altman to lead a new AI research team under Microsoft. Simultaneously, over 700 OpenAI employees jointly issued an open letter demanding the board collectively resign. Facing enormous pressure from investors and employees, the board quickly reversed its decision on November 22, announcing Altman's reinstatement. The board also restructured its members.
