The new board’s initial three members were decided as part of CEO Sam Altman ’s return last week after the previous board abruptly fired him. The replacement directors’ priorities include creating an independent committee to review the events around Altman’s ouster, said Bret Taylor , the board’s chairman.

Sam Altman ’s triumph in remaining OpenAI’s CEO was also a win for those seeking the swift development of artificial intelligence. OpenAI, and Altman himself, are at the heart of a debate about AI development: how quickly should humanity race toward building “artificial general intelligence”—that is, fully humanlike intelligence, or maybe even superhuman intelligence.

Sam Altman’s bid to return to artificial intelligence company OpenAI faltered on Sunday, as the board that fired him didn’t agree to the proposed terms of his reinstatement. Photo: Patrick T. Fallon/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesSAN FRANCISCO— Sam Altman ’s bid to return to OpenAI after being ousted Friday faltered late Sunday, as the board that fired him refused to agree to the proposed terms of his reinstatement and quietly found someone else to take Altman’s spot. Emmett Shear, former chief executive of Twitch, was named interim CEO, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Altman was shocked by the decision, previously feeling confident he would be able to return to the company he co-founded, according to a person familiar with his thinking.
