Five days after the firing, OpenAI announced an agreement in principle for Altman to return as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo; Ilya Sutskever, Helen Toner, and Tasha McCauley, who had taken part in the ouster, left the board. On November 29, OpenAI formally announced Altman's return as CEO, Mira Murati's return as CTO, and Greg Brockman's return as President, with Microsoft taking a non-voting observer seat on the board. The extraordinary firing-and-return saga highlighted the challenges of AI governance worldwide.
