New details have emerged about the possible reason for the dismissal
Elon Musk said the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence are so great that OpenAI, the world’s most famous artificial intelligence company, must reveal the reason it fired CEO Sam Altman .
OpenAI announced Altman’s departure on Friday, saying only that the company behind ChatGPT “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue to lead.”
Musk, responding to former Yammer CEO David Sachs, said that “given the risk and power of advanced artificial intelligence, the public should be informed about why the board felt it necessary to make such a drastic decision.”

Musk is a former OpenAI board member who left the company in 2018, citing a conflict of interest with Tesla. However, Musk later told CNBC that he was concerned about the company’s possible impact on society.
According to Businessinsider, a possible reason for Altman’s dismissal could be the growing tension among the company’s management due to the potential danger that AI poses to humanity. Altman aggressively sought funding to expand development of the technology, while several other board members urged the company to slow down.
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, who played a significant role in Altman’s dismissal, pointed out the potential for AI to harm society.
According to The New York Times, Sutzkever created a Super Alignment team within the company to ensure that future versions of ChatGPT will not be harmful to humanity.
