Altman’s ouster has shocked many sights including employees, investors, and OpenAI’s biggest financial backer, Microsoft. The employees even threatened to depart unless the board restored Altman and resigned. OpenAI said it was appointing new directors including Altman, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, a former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Nicole Seligman, a former president of Sony Entertainment, and Fidji Simo, CEO of Instacart. They will join current board members Adam D’Angelo, the CEO of Quora, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Chairman Bret Taylor, former co-CEO of Salesforce.
