Three senior researchers have quit from artificial intelligence firm OpenAI following the dismissal of its CEO Sam Altman, The Information reported, citing multiple people familiar with the situation.
In a statement announcing the decision, OpenAI said it no longer had “confidence” in Altman’s ability to lead the company, adding that he was “not consistently candid in his communications.”
Brockman said in a post on X that he was “super proud of what we’ve all built together since starting in my apartment 8 years ago … but based on today’s news, I quit.”
Brockman later shared a brief timeline of events on X, outlining how Altman’s dismissal had played out and the role of Ilya Sutskever, one of the company’s cofounders and its chief scientist.
This was the board doing its duty to the mission of the nonprofit, which is to make sure that OpenAI builds AGI that benefits all of humanity," Sutskever said.
Under Altman’s tenure, OpenAI launched the pioneering AI chatbot ChatGPT and secured $10 billion in investment from Microsoft.
