OpenAI’s human-threatening AI model could have been the reason for CEO Sam Altman’s sacking
Prior to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's firing, staff researchers sent a letter to the board warning about a new AI algorithm called Q* that could pose a threat to humanity. The algorithm, capable of solving certain math problems at a grade-school level, was seen as a major breakthrough by some members of OpenAI. The letter and discovery of the AI model were factors that led to Altman's dismissal, with concerns about hastened commercialization and safety. After Altman's firing, over 700 staff members threatened to resign, leading to his reinstatement.
