Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI.
"Mr. Altman's departure is the result of the board's deliberative review process, where he has been consistently dishonest in his communications with the board and has hindered his ability to fulfill his responsibilities," the company said in a blog post. "The board no longer has confidence in his ability to lead OpenAI. "
The specific reasons and reasons for the dismissal are currently being kept confidential. It is not clear what the mentioned "sincerity" is. But the reality is that he was fired and replaced temporarily by the company's chief technology officer, Mira Murati. He is an engineer of Albanian origin and played an important role in the development of Tesla models.
Following the firing of Sam Altman, the company's president and co-founder, Greg Brockman, also resigned. He posted on his X account that he and Sam Altman were shocked and saddened after hearing the news.
Steve Jobs lived the same scenario before. Jobs was fired from Apple in 1985. Jobs, who later founded Next Copmuter and sold it to Apple, was brought in as CEO in 1997.
Many people also think that the same scenario is repeating itself now. They think that Altman will be the new Jobs. After being fired from the company he founded, Altman was considered the face of artificial intelligence with the introduction of ChatCPT. In his statement, Sam Altman admitted that his childhood idol was Steve Jobs.
He started the OpenAI project together with Elon Max. Later, Elon Musk had to leave the company. Recently, Elon Musk, who presented the xAI project, entered the world of artificial intelligence again. It is not excluded that Sam Altman will be brought to XAI as CEO. Right now, it's Elon Musk who understands Sam Altman best. In 2000, he was fired from PayPal, where he was the CEO.
