Ousted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has agreed to return to his role leading the AI lab six days after his shock departure from the company. Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman will work under a new board of directors, it has been announced, in a move which is set to end the turmoil that has engulfed the ChatGPT developer.

Following talks on Tuesday, OpenAI confirmed Altman had agreed "in principle" to rejoin the company. He was fired on Friday after reported disagreements with its independent board about the direction of the lab's work. The move led to a rebellion among staff loyal to Altman, with 747 of its 770-strong team signing an open letter calling for him to be reinstated.
