00:00 Greg Brockman, the co-founder and president of OpenAI, has quit, barely a few hours after
00:08 the chat GPT Maker said it fired CEO Sam Altman, sending shockwaves across the tech world.
00:15 Brockman announced his decision to quit on X and wrote, "I'm super proud of what we have
00:21 all built together since starting in my apartment eight years ago.
00:25 We have been through tough and great times together, accomplishing so much despite all
00:29 the reasons it should have been impossible.
00:32 But based on today's news, I quit."
00:35 He added, "Genuinely wishing you all nothing but the best.
00:40 I continue to believe in the mission of creating a safe artificial general intelligence that
00:44 benefits all of humanity."
00:46 Earlier in the day, OpenAI ousted Sam Altman from the company after an internal review
00:52 found he had not been consistently candid with his representations to the board.
00:57 As part of the announcement, the company appointed Chief Technology Officer Meera Murati as interim
01:01 CEO and demoted Brockman from his role as chairman of the board.
01:06 Confirming the news, Altman took to X and wrote, "I loved my time at OpenAI.
01:11 It was transformative for me personally and hopefully the world a little bit.
01:15 Most of all, I loved working with such talented people.
01:18 We'll have more to say about what's next later."
01:22 The RGPD, an artificial intelligence chatbot that has the capability to produce human-like
01:26 content in seconds, has ignited a race never seen before, catapulting Altman to a tech
01:33 world sensation.
01:34 OpenAI, the creator of this chatbot, said that a review process found that Altman was
01:40 not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise
01:45 its responsibilities.
01:48 Altman helped start OpenAI as a non-profit research laboratory in 2015.
01:52 In the past year, he was thrust into the global spotlight as the face of OpenAI and the broader
01:58 AI boom after chatGPD exploded into public consciousness.
02:03 On a world tour earlier this year, Altman was mobbed by a crowd of adoring fans at an
02:08 event in London.
02:09 In September, New York Magazine published a profile comparing the tech entrepreneur to
02:13 J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the father of the atomic bomb.
02:18 The Time magazine included him on the list of the 100 most influential people in AI in
02:23 2023.
