OpenAI President and co-founder Greg Brockman has announced that he is stepping down from his post just hours after the company’s CEO, Sam Altman, was ousted the board. Brockman co-founded OpenAI with Altman and Elon Musk in 2015. In a tweet, Brockman expressed his pride in what the team has accomplished and his continued belief in the mission of creating safe AGI that benefits all of humanity. Despite the departure of both Altman and Brockman, neither of them nor OpenAI responded to Business Insider’s request for comment. The sudden changes at the top of the organization have sparked significant interest and speculation.
It’s been 8 years since OpenAI was founded, and Brockman’s departure comes as a surprise following Altman’s removal from the CEO position. The company has faced both difficult and successful times, and the departure of two key leaders raises questions about the future direction of the organization.
The swift changes at OpenAI highlight the challenges and uncertainties that arise in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. As the organization navigates this period of transition, industry observers and stakeholders will be watching closely to see what comes next for one of the most prominent entities in the AI landscape.
