In, out, in again: Altman back at OpenAI after colleagues revolt in dramatic boardroom saga

MICROSOFT HAS BEEN LOOKING TO EMBED AI INTO ITS BUSINESS AND CONSUMER-FACING ENTERPRISES, WITH CHATGPT AT THE HEART OF THIS ENDEAVOUR

TO RETURN AS CEO - BOARD THAT REMOVED HIM RECONSTITUTED
About 110 hours. That's all the time it took OpenAI to fire Sam Altman, for the firm to appoint one interim CEO, then appoint another interim CEO, for Altman and OpenAI to discuss a shock return, for those talks to fail, for Microsoft to announce Altman's hiring, and for 90% of OpenAI's employees to revolt against his ouster.
But on Wednesday, the tempestuous waters of Silicon Valley appeared to settle as OpenAI rehired Altman, the pioneering tech savant who infused life into artificial intelligence with the blockbuster launch of ChatGPT.
The San Francisco-based firm confirmed their reunification with Altman in a post on X, apart from announcing that the board that fired him will be replaced.
"We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board," said the statement, underscoring a major win for the 38-year-old entrepreneur.
The board, which replaces the one that fired Altman on Friday, will be led by former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor. It will comprise former US Treasury secretary Larry Summers, and Quora chief Adam D'Angelo, who continues from the previous board.
