It's been a wild 24 hours at OpenAI. Meanwhile, CEO Sam Altman said Thursday the exec departures were unrelated to restructuring talks. AdvertisementIt's been a wild 24 hours at OpenAI, with three high-level execs leaving the company — including CTO Mira Murati — and reports it's restructuring as a for-profit benefit corporation. Speaking at Italian Tech Week Thursday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the executive departures and restructuring talks were unrelated. "I obviously won't pretend it's natural for this one to be so abrupt, but we are not a normal company," he wrote.

New York CNN —OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati — who has been instrumental in the development of ChatGPT and the artificial intelligence image generator Dall-E — said Wednesday she is leaving the company. “My six-and-a-half years with the OpenAI team have been an extraordinary privilege,” Murati said in a note to the OpenAI team, which she posted to X. Fellow OpenAI co-founder John Schulman exited in August to join rival Anthropic. Murati joined OpenAI’s leadership team in 2018 after working at augmented reality company Ultraleap (then called Leap Motion) and Tesla. During the debacle, Murati joined more than 500 fellow OpenAI employees in threatening to quit if Altman was not brought back to the company.

CNN —A sudden and seismic leadership crisis at OpenAI has led to a revolving door of CEOs at the artificial intelligence company, with tech entrepreneur Emmett Shear becoming the latest to take the helm on Monday. But by Monday morning, Altman had accepted a job at Microsoft, the tech giant with a sizable investment in OpenAI, Shear was named interim CEO and hundreds of OpenAI employees — including Murati — were calling for the board’s resignation and threatening to follow Altman to Microsoft. Now, picking up the pieces at OpenAI will be Shear, the 40-year-old co-founder of the video-game live-streaming company Twitch. On Monday, Shear announced he had accepted the job of interim CEO because he believes OpenAI “is one of the most important companies currently in existence.”Whether it can remain so depends on what Shear does next. But with Altman and his allies working in-house at Microsoft, Shear — and whomever succeeds him as OpenAI’s permanent CEO — may forever be overshadowed.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was ousted on Friday, igniting chaos inside the company. Amid discussions that the OpenAI board would be remade, Bret Taylor was asked to join. The former Salesforce executive and Twitter board chair is no longer poised to do so. Yet, in another affront to employees, it seems some expected changes to the board are no longer in the works. Now he is no longer set to join the OpenAI board.

Lawmakers and industry insiders agree: AI needs strong regulations for the industry to thrive. Ultimately, experts agree that this is a necessary step for the nascent AI industry to truly thrive. The AI industry welcomes regulationTech industry insiders say that AI regulation is a prudent step to helping make sure that the technology can be brought to the mass market in a sustainable, responsible way. While the tech industry has historically viewed regulation as harmful to innovation, supporters of rules for AI point to the many instances where strict rules have helped technologies flourish. Calls for AI regulation are not limited to policymakers and researchers.
In an interview with Time magazine, Mira Murati — chief technology officer at OpenAI, the company behind the buzzy AI chatbot ChatGPT — said schools shouldn't rush to ban the technology on their campuses due to concerns over cheating. Instead, Murati said ChatGPT "has the potential to really revolutionize the way we learn," particularly in settings where not everyone has the same learning preferences or abilities. Still, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman echoed Murati, stating he also believes ChatGPT has a place in schools and considers it a more engaging way to learn. "I have used it to learn things myself and found it much more compelling than other ways I've learned things in the past," Altman told StrictlyVC. A digital-media lecturer at the University of Leeds, for example, told Insider she's used AI in her classroom since 2018.
