OpenAI Investors Keep Pushing for Sam Altman’s Return

Top investors were still pushing to reinstate Sam Altman to his CEO role at OpenAI as the future of the artificial-intelligence company remained in jeopardy.

The talks continued Monday as much of OpenAI’s staff threatened to quit if the board didn’t restore Altman to power, according to a person familiar with the matter. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s rivals were making public overtures to any disgruntled employees at the startup company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT.
