CTO Mira Murati will assume the role of interim CEO.

The board’s decision followed a “deliberative review process,” which revealed concerns that Altman “was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.”

Greg Brockman, President and Co-founder of OpenAI, has also chosen to depart from the company following this development.

Greg shared the process of Altman’s removal from the company he co-created:

“Last night, Sam received a text asking to talk at noon on Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet, and the entire board, except Greg, was present. Sam was informed of his termination, and the news was to be made public very soon.”
