11月17日,OpenAI发表声明,宣布公司首席执行官山姆·奥特曼将离开公司。OpenAI在声明中称“董事会对他继续领导OpenAI的能力不再有信心”。
然而,11月21日,该公司表示已与山姆•奥特曼达成协议,让他在离职几天后重新担任首席执行官。
以下是Today报道:
OpenAI restores Sam Altman as CEO after his tumultuous ouster
OpenAI on Tuesday (Nov 21) said it reached an agreement for Mr Sam Altman to return as CEO days after his ouster, capping frenzied discussions about the future of the startup at the centre of the artificial intelligence boom.
OpenAI周二(11月21日)表示,该公司已与山姆•奥特曼达成协议,让他在离职几天后重新担任首席执行官,从而结束了围绕这家处于人工智能热潮中心的初创公司未来的疯狂讨论。
In addition to Mr Altman's return, the company agreed in principle to partly reconstitute the board of directors that had dismissed him. Mr Bret Taylor, formerly co-CEO of Salesforce, and Mr Larry Summers, former US Treasury Secretary, will join Quora CEO and current director Adam D'Angelo, OpenAI said.
除了让奥特曼回归,公司原则上同意部分重组解雇他的董事会。OpenAI表示,Salesforce(软件公司)前联合首席执行官布雷特·泰勒先生和美国前财政部长拉里·萨默斯先生将与果壳问答网站首席执行官兼现任董事亚当·安捷罗共同担任董事。
微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉对OpenAI董事会的变动表示欢迎。他说:“我们相信,这是迈向更稳定、信息更灵通和更有效治理道路上必不可少的第一步。”
以下是Today报道:
Mr Altman said in a post on X: "I'm looking forward to returning to OpenAI." The board had given few details explaining Mr Altman's firing on Friday, other than his lack of candour and its need to defend OpenAI's mission developing AI to benefit humanity.
奥特曼在X上的一篇帖子中说:“我期待着回到OpenAI。”对于奥特曼上周五被解雇一事,董事会几乎没有给出任何细节解释,只是说他缺乏坦诚,说公司需要捍卫OpenAI开发人工智能以便造福人类的使命。
In a statement on X, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella welcomed the changes to OpenAI's board. "We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance," he said.
在X上的一份声明中,微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉对OpenAI董事会的变动表示欢迎。他说:“我们相信,这是迈向更稳定、信息更灵通和更有效治理道路上必不可少的第一步。”
在此之前,OpenAI董事会拒绝了他重返公司的首次尝试,并任命Twitch前老板埃米特·希尔担任临时首席执行官。“官复原职”后,奥特曼在X上发文写道:“我们比以往任何时候都更加团结和专注。”
以下是Today报道:
That followed a rejection by OpenAI's board of his first attempt to return to the startup, on Sunday, by naming ex-Twitch boss Emmett Shear as interim CEO.
在此之前,OpenAI董事会拒绝了他重返公司的首次尝试,并任命Twitch前老板埃米特·希尔担任临时首席执行官。
Mr Altman's dismissal had brought uncertainty for OpenAI and Microsoft alike, which had moved quickly to control damage over the weekend by vowing to hire him and Mr Greg Brockman, president of the startup.
奥特曼的被解雇给OpenAI和微软都带来了不确定性。微软在周末迅速采取行动,誓言聘用奥特曼和OpenAI董事长格雷格•布罗克曼,以控制损失。
Nearly all of OpenAI's over 700-strong staff on Monday had threatened to leave unless the board stepped down and reinstated Mr Altman, according to a letter reviewed by Reuters.
据路透社看到的一封信显示,OpenAI逾700名员工周一几乎全部威胁要离职,除非董事会辞职并让奥特曼复职。
对此,有网友评论道“微软或成最大赢家吧。”也有网友调侃“这不就相当于公司搬家换了个办公室?”
