【动向】突发！OpenAI 董事会正讨论让Sam重新回去当CEO。揭秘宫斗全过程

据多位知情人士透露，OpenAI 董事会正在与山姆-阿尔特曼（Sam Altman）商讨重新担任首席执行官的事宜。其中一位知情人士称，上周五在没有任何通知的情况下突然被董事会解雇的阿尔特曼对回归一事 “态度暧昧”，并希望公司治理发生重大变化。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

Altman 在被解雇仅一天后就与公司举行了会谈，这表明 OpenAI 在没有他的情况下正处于自由落体状态。在他被解雇几小时后，OpenAI 的总裁兼前董事会主席格雷格-布罗克曼（Greg Brockman）也辞职了，两人一直在与朋友和投资者商讨另起炉灶的事宜。一系列高级研究人员也在周五辞职，接近OpenAI的人士称，更多的离职人员正在酝酿之中。

OpenAI 最大的投资者微软在 Altman 被解雇后不久发表声明称，该公司 “将继续致力于 “与这家人工智能公司的合作。然而，OpenAI 的投资者并没有事先得到警告，也没有机会对董事会罢免 Altman 的决定发表意见。作为公司的代言人和人工智能领域最响亮的声音，在竞争对手竞相追赶 ChatGPT 的空前崛起之际，他的离职让 OpenAI 的未来充满了不确定性。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

一、这次宫斗导火索

这个月初， OpenAI 内部团队展示了自家产品的第四次重大飞跃后，内部的分歧越来越明显。能被 OpenAI 视为重大飞跃的进步肯定不简单，这么说吧，上一次是 GPT-4 的诞生。那对比 GPT-4 的能力，再来一次重大飞跃，那我真的有点不敢想了。可在奥特曼（ Sam Altman ）看来，这是绝对的 “ 遥遥领先 ” ，他要更多钱、更多资源把这些带给全人类。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

二、价值观冲突

Sam和秃顶男Ilya Sutskever之间的矛盾升级。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

聪明绝“顶”男Ilya是谁？

ChatGPT首席科学家，背后的代码几乎都是他996加班敲出来的，从小就是一个天才班里的Top 1，在加拿大读CS博士时，加入了AI教父Geoffrey Hinton团队，研究通用AI是ilya毕生梦想。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

而Sam是前硅谷初创孵化器YC的CEO，最擅长搞融资，但他不懂技术，不能像ilya一样体会到AI的安全隐患。

矛盾点：ilya 发际线继续往上移，日日夜夜对GPT5感到不安。他们需要更多时间来确定研究方向，而不是匆忙推出产品。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

三、爆发点

11月16日，在 APEC首席执行官峰会上，Sam 确认了11 月4日的技术突破。此时，ilya既愤怒又害怕。他没想到会有这样的筹资巡演。随着使用量的激增，他们的服务器已无法满足研究团队的需求，这意味着他们需要再次筹资以支持研究工作。事态已经超出了他的掌控。CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

11月17日上午10点，董事会会议开始。Ilya当他表示他们不应该再筹资，不应该扩张，以及 Sam擅自进行巡演时，会议变成了一场辩论。【这就是解释了OpenAi公开声明说到的一点，Sam与董事会的沟通中没有始终保持坦诚，妨碍了董事会履行职责的能力】CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

Sam 强调，作为CEO，他必须领先团队，提前为团队的需求管理新闻流动。“我们将需要更多资金来建设更多的数据中心。”ilya大发雷霆，Ilya 成功联合其他几名董事会成员，火速踢走了Sam。

OpenAI的董事会只有6个人 （3个OpenAI，3个非内部员工）：

• Greg Brockman (董事)
• Sam Altman (CEO)
• Ilya Sutskever (首席科学家)
• Adam D’Angelo (Quora CEO)
• Tasha McCauley
• Helen Toner

Greg由于站在Sam那边支持融资，也被降职。这次被踢走的奥特曼是拿了乔布斯当年被苹果踢走的剧本。

结语：成员的行为不能违反 OpenAI 的初心——造AI 是为了造福人类而不是毁灭人类。

Burst! The OpenAI board is discussing Sam’s return as CEO. Reveal the whole process of the palace

According to multiple people familiar with the matter, OpenAI’s board is in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO. Altman, who was abruptly fired by the board on Friday without any notice, is “ambivalent” about returning and wants major changes in corporate governance, one of the people said.

Altman held talks with the company just a day after he was fired, suggesting that OpenAI is in free fall without him. Hours after he was fired, OpenAI’s president and former chairman of the board, Greg Brockman, also resigned, and the two have been talking to friends and investors about starting a new business. A series of senior researchers also resigned on Friday, and people close to OpenAI said more departures were in the pipeline.CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

Microsoft, OpenAI’s biggest investor, issued a statement shortly after Altman was fired, saying it “remains committed” to working with the AI company. OpenAI investors, however, were not forewarned or given a chance to weigh in on the board’s decision to oust Altman. The face of the company and the loudest voice in artificial intelligence, his departure leaves OpenAI’s future uncertain at a time when rivals are racing to catch up to ChatGPT’s unprecedented rise.

First, the fuse of the palace

Earlier this month, after OpenAI’s internal team demonstrated the fourth major leap forward in its product, internal divisions became increasingly apparent. It’s not easy to be considered a major leap forward by OpenAI, let’s just say the last one was GPT-4. That compared to GPT-4’s capabilities, another major leap forward, that I really dare not think. However, in the view of Sam Altman, this is absolutely “far ahead”, and he wants more money and more resources to bring this to all mankind.

Conflict of values

Tensions escalate between Sam and bald man Ilya Sutskever. CXO UNION CXO Union cxounion.cn

Who is Ilya, the brilliant “top” man?CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

ChatGPT chief scientist, the code behind almost all of his 996 overtime knocked out, since childhood is a genius class Top 1, in Canada to read CS doctor, joined the AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton team, research general AI is ilya lifelong dream. CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

And Sam is the former Silicon Valley start-up incubator YC CEO, the best at financing, but he does not understand the technology, can not understand the security risks of AI like ilya.

Contradiction: ilya’s hairline continues to move upward and she feels insecure about GPT5 day and night. They need more time to determine the direction of research rather than rushing out products.

Three, the breaking point

On November 16, at the APEC CEO Summit, Sam confirmed the technological breakthrough of November 4. At this point, ilya was angry and scared. He didn’t expect a fundraising tour like this. As usage skyrocketed, their servers couldn’t keep up with the research team’s needs, meaning they needed to raise money again to support their research. Events are out of his control.

At 10 a.m. on November 17, the board meeting began. Ilya turned the meeting into a debate when he said they shouldn’t refund, shouldn’t expand, and Sam took the liberty of touring. [This explains OpenAi’s public statement that Sam was not consistently candid in his communications with the Board, impeding the Board’s ability to carry out its duties.CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

Sam emphasized that as CEO, he had to stay ahead of the team and manage the flow of news for the team’s needs ahead of time. “We’re going to need more money to build more data centers.” ilya is furious, and Ilya manages to unite with several other board members to quickly kick Sam out.

OpenAI’s board of directors has only 6 people (3 OpenAI, 3 non-internal employees) :

Greg Brockman, Director

Sam Altman (CEO)

Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist)

Adam D’Angelo (Quora CEO)

Tasha McCauley

Helen Toner

Greg was also demoted for siding with Sam to support the financing. Altman, who was kicked out this time, took the script that Jobs was kicked out of Apple.CXO UNION CXO联盟 cxounion.cn

Conclusion: The actions of members must not violate the original purpose of OpenAI – AI is built to benefit humanity, not destroy it.
