OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been ousted by the company's board of directors in a major move. Chief technology officer Mira Murati has been appointed interim CEO to lead OpenAI. In a statement about this surprising decision, "The board no longer trusts Altman, who has not been honest with us. We are grateful for Sam's contributions to OpenAI's founding and growth, but we believe a new leader is now necessary." At the same time, "The search process to identify the next CEO is ongoing. As part of this transition, Greg Brockman will step down as chairman of the board and will continue to serve the company reporting to the CEO." Altman recently presented several new features at the company's first developer event and attended Microsoft's partner event.
OpenAI, which generated only 28 million dollars in revenue last year, will close this year with approximately 1.3 billion dollars in revenue, according to information given to employees last month by former company CEO Sam Altman. It is not yet known exactly how much net profit the company, which is reported to have started to generate $ 100 million in monthly revenue, will close 2023 with a net profit or whether it will be able to make a profit. OpenAI, which is claimed to spend 700 thousand dollars every day (server costs) just to keep its ChatGPT system running, is therefore developing important systems / commercial packages to monetize productive artificial intelligence.
