OpenAI announced on Friday it has reinstated CEO Sam Altman to its board of directors, bringing the firm’s three-month governance drama to a close. Altman made his official comeback to the board table alongside three new members – all women – after criticisms over OpenAI’s lack of diversity.
The move comes after an investigation led by law firm WilmerHale concluded that last November’s OpenAI saga was a “consequence of a breakdown in the relationship and loss of trust” between Altman and the board, rather than a feud about “concerns regarding product safety or security, the pace of development, OpenAI’s finances, or its statements to investors, customers, or business partners.”
