Sam Altman Returns to OpenAI Board. WLD Reacts With Growth
Worldcoin surged 46% amid news of Sam Altman's return to OpenAI's board.
Months after Sam Altman's surprise firing from OpenAI, as well as his high-profile return and board reorganization, Altman is finally on the new board of directors. Altman's firing as CEO in 2023 caused not only a public outcry, but also a massive employee revolt and Microsoft's intervention.
Just days later, Altman returned to OpenAI and significantly revamped the board of directors. The new hires of Sue Desmond-Hellmann and Fidji Simo reflected the company's changing priorities. However, OpenAI's continued success was overshadowed by legal battles with billionaire Elon Musk, who accused management of betraying its original values in the form of a commitment to nonprofit status. Musk was concerned about Microsoft's growing influence and its stake in OpenAI's technology.
