Summary
Sam Altman has returned as CEO of OpenAI after a weekend of crisis and tumult. Three new board members have replaced the previous leadership that ousted Altman. Negotiations are underway to install representation from Microsoft or other major investors. The new board members have extensive backgrounds in business and technology, unlike the previous board which included academics and researchers. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella expressed encouragement for the changes. The article provides information about each new board member and their backgrounds. The composition of the new board suggests that OpenAI may be transforming into a more conventional Silicon Valley startup. However, the governance change does not alter the fact that OpenAI remains a "capped-profit" entity owned by a non-profit organization.
