His return to this influential position could have far-reaching implications for the organization’s future endeavors.

OpenAI recently announced its new board and the conclusion of an internal investigation conducted by the U.S. law firm WilmerHale. The investigation centered around the events that led to the removal of OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman. As part of this development, Altman will also be rejoining OpenAI’s board.

Let’s meet the new board members:

1. **Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann**: Former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Dr. Desmond-Hellmann brings her expertise to the table. She is also on the Board of Directors at Pfizer and serves on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

2. **Nicole Seligman**: Former EVP and Global General Counsel of Sony, Nicole Seligman is a seasoned professional. She is also on the Board of Directors at Paramount Global, Meira GTx, and Intuitive Machines, Inc.

3. **Fidji Simo**: As the CEO and Chair of Instacart, Fidji Simo adds valuable insights. She is also on the Board of Directors at Shopify.

These three new members will collaborate closely with existing board members Adam D’Angelo, Larry Summers, and Bret Taylor, as well as with Greg and Sam from OpenAI’s senior management. The organization plans to further expand its board in the future.

While the investigation report itself remains unpublished, OpenAI has provided a summary of the findings. Notably, the review highlighted a significant breakdown of trust between the prior board and Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. However, it also concluded that the board acted in good faith and did not anticipate some of the subsequent instability. Importantly, the board’s concerns did not relate to product safety, security, or OpenAI’s finances.

Exciting times lie ahead for OpenAI as it continues to shape the future of artificial intelligence!
