The ongoing controversy surrounding Sam Altman’s sudden dismissal as CEO of OpenAI has taken yet another unexpected turn. The unusual six-member non-profit OpenAI board has named former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear as the interim CEO as of Sunday. This decision comes just days after Mira Murati was elevated from OpenAI’s chief technology officer to the interim CEO. Murati had allegedly joined forces with Altman and his supporters, including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, in a bid to reverse the decision to remove Altman as CEO.
However, Shear’s appointment has indicated that the OpenAI board remains committed to finding a permanent CEO, as they have apparently reached out to high-profile technology executives for the position. It’s important to mention that publications such as VentureBeat are dedicated to providing insights into transformative enterprise technology and facilitating transactions.
