Sam Altman makes dramatic return to OpenAI days after being fired

Just a few days after he was fired by the board of OpenAI – Sam Altman has got his job back as CEO. The firm behind ChatGPT said it had reached “an agreement in principle” with Mr Altman, who’ll be getting a new board to work alongside him.

It’s being seen as a victory for its investors and staff, after almost all of OpenAI’s 750 employees signed a letter threatening to quit en masse if he wasn’t reinstated.
