Founded in 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and several researchers including Dr. Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI has been a leader in A.I. research. Dr. Sutskever's early contributions lent significant credibility to the company. In late 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, an advanced chatbot that revolutionized the tech industry by generating text, poetry, and code. This generative A.I. technology is set to transform various digital tools.
Mr. Altman, a prominent advocate for generative A.I., was unexpectedly ousted by OpenAI's board in November but later reinstated as CEO. Dr. Sutskever, who initially supported the ouster, stepped down from the board following internal turmoil. Dr. Jan Leike, head of the Super Alignment team, also resigned, and Dr. Jakub Pachocki took on the role of chief scientist. Dr. Pachocki, a key figure in developing GPT-4, expressed gratitude for Dr. Sutskever’s mentorship, highlighting their complementary leadership styles.
