Turmoil at OpenAI raises concerns about genAI’s future, rapid advance
The fallout over the firing of the co-founder of OpenAI continued this week, raising concerns that the uncertain future of the company could more broadly affect the future of generative AI (genAI) technology.
Hundreds of OpenAI employees — nearly the company’s entire staff — signed a letter Monday threatening to quit and go work for Microsoft unless everyone on OpenAI’s board of directors resigns and reappoints co-founder Sam Altman as CEO, according to a memo circulated on social media.
