OpenAI 周五宣布成立新董事会,并结束美国 WilmerHale 律师事务所对导致 OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 下台的事件的内部调查。
Sam Altman 也将重新加入 OpenAI 董事会。
新的董事会成员是:
苏·德斯蒙德·赫尔曼 (Sue Desmond-Hellmann) 博士,比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会前首席执行官,也是辉瑞公司董事会成员和总统科学技术顾问委员会成员。
Nicole Seligman,索尼前执行副总裁兼全球总法律顾问、索尼娱乐总裁,同时也是派拉蒙全球、Meira GTx 和 Intuitive Machines, Inc. 的董事会成员。
Fidji Simo,Instacart 首席执行官兼董事长,同时也是 Shopify 董事会成员。
据一份新闻稿称,这三名新成员将“与现任董事会成员 Adam D'Angelo、Larry Summers 和 Bret Taylor 以及 Greg、Sam 和 OpenAI 的高级管理层密切合作”。
根据 Zoom 与记者的电话会议,OpenAI 将继续扩大董事会规模。
泰勒说:“审查得出的结论是,前任董事会与萨姆和格雷格之间的信任严重破裂。”他补充说,审查还“得出结论,董事会的行为是善意的……[并且]没有预料到会出现一些不稳定的情况”。这导致了后来的事情。”
泰勒还表示,董事会的担忧并不是针对产品安全和安保、OpenAI 的财务或向客户或业务合作伙伴的声明,这“只是董事会与 Altman 先生之间信任的破裂”。
WilmerHale 的调查于 12 月开始,律师今天提交了报告,其中包括对 OpenAI 前任董事会成员和顾问、现任高管和其他证人的数十次采访。
据一份新闻稿称,调查还涉及审查 30,000 多份文件。
OpenAI 董事会主席 Bret Taylor 在一份新闻稿中表示:“我们一致认为 Sam 和 Greg 是 OpenAI 的合适领导者。”
“我非常感谢布雷特、拉里和威尔默黑尔,”奥特曼在接受记者采访时表示。
在谈到首席技术官 Mira Murati 时,他补充道:“特别是 Mira 一直在为 OpenAI 带来进步……但在 11 月份的那段时间里,她在帮助领导公司方面做得非常出色。”
He added that he is "excited to be moving forward here" and for the situation to be "over." He also mentioned he wished he had acted differently regarding differences in opinion with the board.
In November, OpenAI's board ousted Altman, prompting resignations – or threats of resignations – including an open letter signed by virtually all of OpenAI's employees, and uproar from investors, including Microsoft. Within a week, Altman was back at the company, and board members Helen Toner, Tasha McCauley and Ilya Sutskever, who had voted to oust Altman, were out. Adam D'Angelo, who had also voted to oust Altman, stayed on the board.
When Altman was asked about Sutskever's status on the Zoom call with reporters, he said there were no updates to share.
"I love Ilya... I hope we work together for the rest of our careers, my career, whatever," Altman said. "Nothing to announce today."
Since then, OpenAI has announced new board members, including former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. Microsoft obtained a nonvoting board observer position.
After ChatGPT's launch in November 2022, it broke records at the time as the fastest-growing consumer app in history, and now has about 100 million weekly active users, along with more than 92% of Fortune 500 companies using the platform, according to OpenAI. Last year, Microsoft invested an additional $10 billion in the company, making it the biggest AI investment of the year, according to PitchBook, and OpenAI has reportedly closed a deal that will allow employees to sell shares at an $86 billion valuation, though the deal reportedly took longer to close than expected due to the events surrounding Altman's ouster.
The rollercoaster couple of weeks at the company are still affecting it months later.
This month, billionaire tech magnate Elon Musk sued OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, court filings revealed on Thursday.
In his complaint, Musk and his attorneys allege that the ChatGPT maker "has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft." They also argue that this arrangement goes against a founding agreement and 2015 certification of incorporation that OpenAI established with Musk, who was a pivotal donor to a cofounder of OpenAI in its early years.
作为微软与 OpenAI 合同的一部分,这家科技巨头仅拥有 OpenAI 的“pre-AGI”技术的权利,并且由 OpenAI 董事会决定该公司是否已达到这一里程碑。
马斯克在文件中表示,自去年 11 月 OpenAI 董事会改组(Toner、McCauley 和 Sutskever 被解职)以来,新董事会“没有能力”独立确定 OpenAI 是否已达到 AGI,从而判断其技术是否超出了 AGI 的范围。与微软的独家协议。
律师们告诉 CNBC,他们对马斯克案件的法律可行性表示怀疑,OpenAI 表示计划提出一项动议,驳回马斯克的所有指控。
为了回应这起备受瞩目的诉讼,OpenAI 转载了马斯克的旧电子邮件,其中这位特斯拉和 SpaceX 首席执行官鼓励这家新兴初创公司筹集至少 10 亿美元的资金,并同意随着时间的推移,它应该“开始变得不那么开放”,并且“不与公众分享”公司的科学知识。
马斯克提起诉讼之前,奥特曼之前的芯片努力和投资也引发了一些争议。
据报道,就在奥特曼短暂下台之前,他正在为一家代号为“Tigris”的新的、尚未成立的芯片企业寻求数十亿美元的资金,以最终与英伟达竞争,他前往中东向投资者筹集资金。
2018年,Altman个人投资了一家名为Rain Neuromorphics的AI芯片初创公司,总部位于OpenAI旧金山总部附近,2019年,OpenAI签署了一份意向书,斥资5100万美元购买Rain的芯片。
去年 12 月,美国迫使沙特阿美支持的一家风险投资公司出售其在 Rain 的股份。
