Sam Altman won't return to OpenAI despite company's overtures, report says

Sam Altman, the ousted CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, will not return to the company he co-founded despite executives' efforts to bring him back, tech news site The Information has reported. Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI co-founder and board director, told staff on Sunday night that Altman would not be coming back after a weekend of negotiations with the board of directors, company leaders and investors, The Information reported on Sunday. Emmett Shear, co-founder of video streaming site Twitch, will take over as interim CEO, The Information said. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Al Jazeera. Altman, who became the public face of artificial intelligence with the releases of ChatGPT and GPT-4, was abruptly fired on Friday after the company's board determined he was "not consistently candid in his communications".
