Ilya Sutskever, the OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist who in November joined three other board members to force out Sam Altman, the company’s high-profile chief executive, before saying he regretted the move, is leaving the San Francisco A.I.
After returning to OpenAI just five days after he was ousted, Mr. Altman reasserted his control and continued its push toward increasingly powerful technologies that worried some of his critics.
Dr. Sutskever remained an OpenAI employee, but he never returned to work.
“This is an emotional day for all of us,” Mr. Altman said in an interview.
“OpenAI would not exist without him and certainly was shaped by him.”
