OpenAI announced a new male-dominated board after Sam Altman won the battle to return as CEO.
'Please, more representation and balance'The departure of Toner and McCauley has put the makeup of OpenAI's new board in the spotlight.
Emily Bell, a founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, wrote in a post on X : "OpenAI fires women on the board — board chair who oversaw fuck up stays."
Tom Williams/Getty ImagesOne of OpenAI's main rivals also weighed in on the lack of diversity on the new board.
Within the private sector, research from Crunchbase in 2022 showed that women held 16% of board seats among more than 660 companies they analyzed.
