I would also like to thank Emmett (former interim CEO) for his crucial and constructive role in helping us achieve this outcome. Emmett's dedication to AI security and balancing stakeholder interests is evident.
Mira excelled throughout the process, serving the mission, the team, and the company selflessly from start to finish. She's an incredible leader, and OpenAI wouldn't be OpenAI without her. Thanks Mira.
Greg and I are partners in running this company. We never quite figured out how to convey this on an org chart, but we will do it right away. In the meantime, I just wanted to clarify. Thank you for everything you've done since the beginning and the way you've handled things from the beginning of this incident to last week.
The leadership team – Mira, Brad, Jason, Che, Hannah, Diane, Anna, Bob, Srinivas, Matt, Lilian, Miles, Jan, Wojciech, John, Jonathan, Pat and others are clearly ready to run the company without any circumstances. I. They say that one way to evaluate a CEO is to look at how you pick and train your potential successors;On this metric, I'm doing much better than I thought. I'm well aware that the company is in the hands of great people, and I want everyone to be clear about that. Thank you.
Jakub, Szymon, and Aleksander are all exceptional talents, and I'm thrilled that they're back in OpenAI to move us and our research forward." Thank you.

One of the most important things for a team building AGI safely is to be able to handle stressful and uncertain situations and always exercise good judgment. Give you the highest scores. Thank you.
Satya (Microsoft CEO), Kevin, Amy, and Brad have been admirable partners throughout the process, with the right priorities from start to finish. If we can't achieve OpenAI's main goal, they will support us and be ready to welcome us all. We clearly made the right choice to partner with Microsoft, and I'm delighted that our new board has them as non-voting observers. Thank you very much.
For our partners and users, thank you for sticking to OpenAI's series of products and never giving up on us. We did feel the outpouring of support and love, and it helped us all get through this.

Bret Taylor, former co-CEO of Salesforce and the new chairman of the board of directors of OpenAI, said:
On behalf of the OpenAI Board of Directors, I would like to express my gratitude to the entire OpenAI community, and especially to all OpenAI employees, who have come together over the past week to find a way forward for the company. Your efforts help this incredible organization continue to fulfill its mission – to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.
We are thrilled that Sam, Mira, and Greg are back together to lead and move the company forward." We look forward to working with them and all of you.
As a Board of Directors, we are committed to strengthening OpenAI's corporate governance, and we plan to do so:
We will build a qualified, diverse board of distinguished individuals whose collective experience represents the breadth of OpenAI's mission – from technology to security to policy. We are pleased that the Board will include a non-voting Microsoft observer. We will further stabilize the OpenAI organization so that we can continue to fulfill our mission. This will include convening an independent committee of the Board to oversee a review of recent events. We will strengthen OpenAI's governance structure so that all stakeholders – users, customers, employees, partners, and community members – can trust that OpenAI will continue to thrive. OpenAI is an institution that is more important than ever. ChatGPT has made AI a part of the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people. Its ubiquity puts the benefits and risks of AI at the heart of almost all conversations about the future of business, business, and society.
We understand the importance of these discussions and the central role of OpenAI in the development and security of these amazing new technologies. Each of you has a key role to play in ensuring that we are effective on these challenges. We are committed to listening to you and learning Xi from you, and I hope to speak to all of you soon.

Sam said:
The best interests and mission of the company always come first. It was clear that there was indeed a misunderstanding between me and the board members.As far as I'm concerned, it's important to learn Xi from this experience and apply those lessons as we move forward as a company.
I welcome the Board's independent review of all recent events. I thank Helen and Tasha for their contributions to the power of OpenAI.
Director of Strategic and Basic Research** at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technologies (CSET) and former director of OpenAI, tweeted his resignation from the board
Today, I am officially stepping down from the OpenAI Board of Directors. Thank you to the many friends, colleagues, and supporters who have publicly and privately stated that they know that our decisions have always been driven by our commitment to OpenAI's mission.A lot has been written about the last week or two;Will definitely say more. At this time, the incoming Board has announced that it will conduct a comprehensive independent review to determine the best course of action.
To be clear: our decision is about the board's ability to effectively oversee the company, and this is our role and responsibility.
Despite some speculation, our motivation isn't to slow down OpenAI's work. When I joined the OpenAI Board in 2021, it was already clear to me and many around me that this was a special organization that was going to do great things.
It is a great privilege to be a part of this organization. I have a lot of respect for the OpenAI team and wish them and the incoming Adam, Bret, and Larry boards all the best.
I will continue to focus on AI policy, safety, and security, so I know our paths will cross many times in the coming years.
On the occasion of OpenAI's power struggle last week, there were rumors on the Internet claiming that Adam, the founder of Quora, may be the biggest behind the scenes because of a conflict of interest**, Sam Altman hereby clarifies this and justifies Adam's name:
So far, in addition to Ilya leaving the unknown, the core characters of OpenAI have truly achieved great consummation!
