The days-long saga at the helm of the world’s best known AI business took another turn this morning after ChatGPT maker OpenAI said it would hire the former boss of Twitch as its new CEO, while its ousted exec Sam Altman would move to lead investor Microsoft to run an AI research team.
Altman was abruptly sacked as OpenAI CEO on Friday after a statement by the board that it “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI,” in a moved that sent shockwaves through the tech world and sparked a string of resignations from the business.
