本月17日，风靡全球的聊天机器人ChatGPT背后的OpenAI公司解雇了其首席执行官兼创始人Sam Altman。这一突发消息，给正在如火如荼起步的大模型行业带来了令人震惊的影响。

OpenAI在一份声明中表示，基于一项内部调查，发现Sam Altman对董事会的不诚实，是董事会作出此项决定的原因。OpenAI的董事会成员包括OpenAI首席科学家Ilya Sutskever、独立董事、Quora首席执行官Adam D’Angelo、科技企业家Tasha McCauley以及乔治城安全与新兴技术中心的Helen Toner。

该公司的声明中表示，“Sam Altman离职之前，董事会进行了审慎审查，得出的结论是，他在与董事会的沟通中没有始终保持坦诚，妨碍了董事会履行职责的能力。”“董事会对他继续领导OpenAI的能力不再有信心。”

可能Sam Altman尚未办完离职手续的时候，OpenAI也宣布了新的CEO，即公司首席技术官Mira Murati 将担任临时CEO，直到选出永久继任者。

OpenAI官宣此消息后，Sam Altman在其社交媒体上表示，他“喜欢在OpenAI的时光”。

38岁的Sam Altman在短短几年内，带领OpenAI让ChatGPT取得风靡天下的成就，ChatGPT获得了1亿用户，帮助OpenAI筹集了数十亿美元，并成功抢了传统云巨头的蛋糕，让人工智能开始利于商业科技行业的中心。Sam Altman也被许多人认为是新兴的人工智能革命的领导者。

“这对我个人来说是一种变革，希望对世界也是如此。”最重要的是，我喜欢和这些有才华的人一起工作，”他说。“我会对接下来的事情有更多的看法。”

以下为OpenAI此次人事调整声明的原文：

Chief technology officer Mira Murati appointed interim CEO to lead OpenAI; Sam Altman departs the company.

Search process underway to identify permanent successor.

 The board of directors of OpenAI, Inc., the 501(c)(3) that acts as the overall governing body for all OpenAI activities, today announced that Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.

A member of OpenAI’s leadership team for five years, Mira has played a critical role in OpenAI’s evolution into a global AI leader. She brings a unique skill set, understanding of the company’s values, operations, and business, and already leads the company’s research, product, and safety functions. Given her long tenure and close engagement with all aspects of the company, including her experience in AI governance and policy, the board believes she is uniquely qualified for the role and anticipates a seamless transition while it conducts a formal search for a permanent CEO.

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

In a statement, the board of directors said: “OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission. We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company’s research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period.”

OpenAI’s board of directors consists of OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, independent directors Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, technology entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s Helen Toner.

As a part of this transition, Greg Brockman will be stepping down as chairman of the board and will remain in his role at the company, reporting to the CEO.

OpenAI was founded as a non-profit in 2015 with the core mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. In 2019, OpenAI restructured to ensure that the company could raise capital in pursuit of this mission, while preserving the nonprofit's mission, governance, and oversight. The majority of the board is independent, and the independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. While the company has experienced dramatic growth, it remains the fundamental governance responsibility of the board to advance OpenAI’s mission and preserve the principles of its Charter.
