In the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML/AI), there are always turning points that present both challenges and opportunities for companies such as Chapter H. Recently, OpenAI, a leading player in the field of AI, caused a stir with the unexpected dismissal of its CEO Sam Altman, raising many questions and speculation about the future of the AI market.
Altman’s dismissal, as reported by Werner Pluta on November 18, 2023, came unexpectedly and was communicated by OpenAI in unusually harsh terms. It was stated that Altman had not been honest in his communication with the Board of Directors, which had led to a loss of trust. This step followed an alleged dispute over the commercial orientation of OpenAI.
There is much speculation about Altman’s dismissal and the subsequent resignation of co-founder Greg Brockman. According to well-known journalist Kara Swisher, the dispute over the speed and direction of OpenAI’s commercialization – including the partnership with Microsoft – may have been a trigger. This development raises important questions about the balance between commercial success and the development of safe AI technologies.
