Nov 18, 2023 - theverge.com
OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman have both announced their departures from the company. Altman was fired earlier in the day, with the board stating it no longer had confidence in his ability to lead. Brockman, who was expected to step down as chairman but remain in his role at the company, announced his resignation hours later, citing the day's news as his reason for leaving.

The company announced a "leadership transition" with CTO Mira Murati stepping in as interim CEO. OpenAI, known for its work in artificial intelligence and the popular ChatGPT, has not provided further details on the sudden leadership changes.
