CNN —Economist Larry Summers, the former Obama and Clinton official, is joining an initial, revamped OpenAI board, as the company welcomes back CEO Sam Altman just days after he was ousted by the previous board.
Summers and Taylor, for example, both sit on other corporate boards.
Those three directors have significantly more experience than much of the previous board, which abruptly fired Altman late on Friday only to see an employee revolt and wide-ranging repercussions in the tech and business worlds.
Days later, OpenAI said it had reached an agreement in principle for Altman to return.
“We are collaborating to figure out the details,” the company posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
