Sam Altman is poised to make a comeback as the CEO of OpenAI. The company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle for his reinstatement. The reinstatement follows Altman’s abrupt dismissal on Friday, which created a controversy that led nearly the entire 750-strong workforce to threaten resignation amidst demands that Altman be reinstated.
This unexpected leadership crisis has shed light on OpenAI’s unique corporate structure and raised questions about Microsoft’s influence on the situation, given its significant stake in the company.
