- 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.
