Artificial
intelligence
(AI)
company
OpenAI
ousted
Sam
Altman
as
CEO
and
from
the
board,
the
board
of
directors
announced
in
a
blog
post
Friday.
“Mr.
Altman’s
departure
follows
a
deliberative
review
process
by
the
board,
which
concluded
that
he
was
not
consistently
candid
in
his
communications
with
the
board,
hindering
its
ability
to
exercise
its
responsibilities,”
the
blog
post
said.
“The
board
no
longer
has
confidence
in
his
ability
to
continue
leading
OpenAI,”
it
added.
Worldcoin
(WLD),

searching
for
a
permanent
successor.
