Helen Toner’s Dispute with Sam Altman
Helen Toner’s Removal from OpenAI’s Board
- Sam Altman has returned as the CEO of OpenAI after a tumultuous period.
- Helen Toner, an Australian board member of OpenAI, reportedly critiqued the timing of the release of ChatGPT.
- Toner and two other board members responsible for firing Altman have now been removed from the board.
- The dispute between Toner and Altman is believed to be related to Toner’s paper criticizing the timing of ChatGPT’s release.
After some internal drama at OpenAI, Sam Altman has taken back the reins as the CEO. However, the focus is now on Helen Toner, an Australian board member who reportedly had a disagreement with Altman regarding the timing of OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT. Toner’s critique seems to have played a role in Altman’s firing, but now that Altman is back, Toner, along with two other board members, has been removed from the board. It seems like the timing of the release was a sensitive issue for OpenAI, and Toner’s paper may have emphasized this. What a rollercoaster ride it has been for OpenAI!
