NextImg:OpenAI founder Sam Altman ousted from company

OpenAI founder Sam Altman was ousted from the artificial intelligence company because he was not candid with its board, the company said Friday.

OpenAI's board of directors said in a statement Friday that it underwent a "deliberative review process" and concluded that Altman was not "consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities" and had to be removed.

"We are grateful for Sam's many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI," the board stated. "At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward." Altman will now be replaced by Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati as interim CEO while the company seeks an appropriate replacement.

"As the leader of the company's research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO," the board said. "We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period."

Altman has been the face of OpenAI since its inception and has regularly spoken at congressional and technology events about the importance of AI and its dangers. He recommended that Congress consider licensing AI developers to ensure the technology is used safely during a May hearing.
