In the weeks leading up to his firing as OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman had a conflict with artificial intelligence researcher Helen Toner, one of the directors on the non-profit board that governs the company, according to a person familiar with the situation. Altman tried to get Toner off the board and was engaging other board members in that effort, according to the person.
Insights about the relationship between Altman and the board member shed a new light on the rift that broke out in public Friday. Altman’s firing led to the resignations of four senior employees and four days of havoc inside the highly valued startup, until recently the untouchable leader in AI development.
