Last week I said that Fast Forward would take a week off, but I've been spending some late nights and early mornings racing to report on the dramatic governance crisis at OpenAI, and I thought you might like a quick recap. WIRED has chronicled the saga, which saw the world's most prominent artificial intelligence company get close to imploding altogether.
The drama kicked off last Friday, when the company's board suddenly fired CEO Sam Altman—a figurehead for the generative AI boom that has engulfed the tech industry this year. In the following days, employees protested, investors fumed, and Microsoft seemed poised to pull off an AI research talent heist. The twists, turns, and board room intrigue have been worthy of a season of Succession. And, eventually, in a full circle that closed late on Tuesday, Altman reached a deal to return as CEO.
Things are not back to normal at OpenAI or in the wider AI industry, though. The company has a new board that will be expanded over time, and an investigation into Altman is in the works. As WIRED's October cover story on OpenAI revealed, the company was shot through with tensions between the company's founding ambition to put guardrails on AI and its more recent commercial momentum, backed by billions of dollars from Microsoft.
