Sam Altman, the former boss of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, has shared a photo of himself at the company's headquarters, fueling speculation about his potential return. Altman was recently dismissed by the board of OpenAI due to a loss of confidence. However, reports over the weekend indicate that investors and employees are advocating for his reinstatement. Altman, who played a significant role in launching OpenAI and creating the popular ChatGPT bot, is a highly influential figure in the generative AI industry. The reasons for his dismissal are not clear, but sources suggest it has caused concern among current and former employees ahead of an upcoming $86 billion share sale. OpenAI's venture capitalist backers and Microsoft have also called for Altman to be reinstated. Altman's ousting received support from industry leaders like ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who praised his contributions to the field of AI.
