Sam Altman rejoins OpenAI board of directors
Quick Glance: OpenAI appoints new board members, reinstates CEO Sam Altman
  • Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is rejoining the company's board of directors.

  • Joining alongside him are three new members, including former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Sue Desmond-Hellmann, ex-Sony Entertainment president Nicole Seligman, and Instacart CEO Fidji Simo - expanding OpenAI's board to seven people.

  • The appointment of the four new board members - and the reinstatement of Altman - comes after OpenAI faced criticism for its all-male board makeup and the nomination of Summers, who made derogatory remarks about women.

  • OpenAI's expanded board is certainly diverse - at least in terms of their backgrounds.
