What happened this week in AI by Louie This week saw the conclusion of the drama at OpenAI with the return of Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to OpenAI and the appointment of two new directors to the board (together with one existing director). To some extent, we think this leaves OpenAI in a better position than it started with more checks and balances on Sam’s control (now he is off the board) and more urgency to find a long-term democratic board governance solution. However, there is likely to be lasting damage, with some enterprises fearing dependency on an organization with such a complex and potentially unstable governance structure. We expect this to support the pre-existing trend of building products with limited dependencies on a single LLM where the LLM can be substituted for an alternative API or open-source model at short notice.
