Mira Murati, who previously served as the company’s chief technology officer, has been named interim chief executive officer, the company said.

“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said. “The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”

Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

 

The previously unreported letter and AI algorithm was a key development ahead of the board's ouster of Altman, the poster child of generative AI, the two sources said.

 

According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati mentioned the project, called Q*, to employees on Wednesday and said that a letter was sent to the board prior to this weekend's events.

 

The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q* (pronounced Q-Star), which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

Some are saying this could be related to allegations from his sister? Though these allegations have been out for a while now:
 

 

Edit: Or maybe not. :rip:

I (sadly) doubt a company would care about that, especially since it's been 2 years since she spoke out and it hadn't made any relevant news sites until now. It's most likely some internal business conflict

These dumbass board members launched a coup that could destroy billions in wealth and jobs - without thinking through the backlash - and are now trying to backtrack. Sam is going to return and go scorched earth on them.
