AIMPACT News, April 28 (UTC+8), the OpenAI Board of Directors dismissed CEO Sam Altman in November 2023, citing his lack of transparency with the board on safety issues. Insiders revealed that scientist Ilya Sutskever wrote a 70-page memo before the dismissal, detailing Altman’s opaque behavior regarding team safety and corporate governance. According to the investigation report, Altman transformed OpenAI from a non-profit organization into a for-profit enterprise, diverging from its original mission of open sharing. He was also found to have used Twitter data for model training without authorization and to have allegedly poached employees from competitor xAI to obtain sensitive information. Several senior team members pointed out that Altman sacrificed core commitments to AI safety in pursuit of growth and funding, and his push for large-scale global AI projects posed serious risks. A former board member directly criticized his lack of transparency and integrity. Currently, Altman has returned to OpenAI as CEO, but this incident has sparked widespread discussion in the industry about AI governance and corporate ethics.
