OpenAI’s board appointment of two rhetorical graybeards—tech veteran Bret Taylor and, for some reason, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summer—mercifully helped avert its pre-Thanksgiving leadership crisis. It has more board vacancies to fill (but not with investors), governance rules to set and a CEO to investigate.
I’d pose another priority: Deepen OpenAI’s roster of experienced executives, not just its board members. There’s a serious disconnect between OpenAI’s early accomplishments and the seasoning of its executive team. This is a company generating a $1.3 billion run rate of revenue, making powerful AI breakthroughs, and harboring ambitions to design or make its own chips.
