As of today, all the people are aware of Chat-GPT. It is a leader in Artificial intelligence. The prominent faces of Open AI Sam Altman and Greg Brockman have been fired from the company by the board member.
OpenAI board says that Altman “was not openly candid with his communications with them”.
Sam Altman entered with Guest ID in the OpenAI office. He mentioned that this is the last time he is entering office.
OpenAI’s board expressed concerns over Altman’s divergent stance on AI safety compared to the company’s established approach. His strained relationship with the board further exacerbated tensions, and his involvement in external ventures added to the growing rift.
On the other side, Greg Brockman shared on his X handle(formally known as Twitter).
Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.

Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.
We too are still trying to figure out exactly…
Who is Greg Brockman?
Greg Brockman was the President, Chairman, and Co-Founder of OpenAI from 2015 to 2023. He resigned from this position in November 2023 following the departure of OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman. Brockman played a key role in OpenAI’s development, overseeing its research and development efforts and leading the company’s growth. He was also a vocal advocate for responsible AI development and for ensuring that AI is used for the benefit of humanity.
What’s the effect of this on others?
Many tweets have been shared by the current employees that they are not happy with the board’s decision.
Over 700 of OpenAI’s 770 employees wrote a letter saying they might leave if Sam isn’t brought back. Even one of the people in charge of OpenAI, who helped decide to fire Sam, changed his mind and signed the letter too. As per credible news sources.
What will happen next?
As per a tweet from Satya Nadella (Chairman and CEO of Microsoft Corporation) mentioned that both Sam Altman and Greg Brokman are joining Microsoft.
We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett…

Who is replacing Sam Altman?
As per Reuters ex- Twich boss Emmett Shear will be joining OpenAI as Chief Technology Officer.
Who is Emmett Shear?
Emmett Shear is a well-known figure in Silicon Valley and is best known as the founder of Twitch, the revolutionary live-streaming platform that is taking the world by storm.
Twitch first started in 2007 with the aim of keeping Justin Kan’s life alive 24/7. But under Shear’s visionary leadership, Twitch has become a global phenomenon, attracting millions of users and redefining digital entertainment. In 2014, Twitch was acquired by Amazon for a staggering $1 billion, solidifying its position in the digital entertainment space. A major force in the broadcast industry.
Shear’s decision to step down as CEO earlier this year marked the end of an era, but his legacy at Twitch lives on. During his tenure, Shear explored the complexities of the rapidly evolving industry and experienced the challenges of being a broadcaster. They believe their interests are not adequately represented. He also oversees Twitch’s fierce rivalry with YouTube, where the two platforms compete for supremacy by attracting top brands with unparalleled results.
After leaving Twitch, Shear started a new job as a partner at Y. Combinator, a well-known startup accelerator. The move brought him closer to Sam Altman, who headed Y Combinator before joining OpenAI. Shear decided to accept the interim CEO position at OpenAI because he believes in the company’s massive growth. Talent. As he so powerfully says, the Force is strong for the future.
