Sam Altman back on the board of open AI along with three new directors after the startup wrapped up its investigation into that failed boardroom coup.

Dr. Durbosa digs into what the new board might mean for the future of open AI in today's tech check morning

D hey good morning Carl so that investigation it hopes to put an end to months of

internal conflict in questions but it also underscores the new uncomfortable

dynamic at open AI and that is a nonprofit

mission with a corporate profit motive. Now here's what the board looks like now

Altman and DeAngelo remain the previous members were less well known outside of AI research and

ethics circles. They were replaced with experienced business executives

familiar with building for-profit companies. This is now a Gen AI startup, a darling at that that is well equipped

to handle public scrutiny and drive more revenue and profits, but it's also less aligned with

open AI's founding mission to build artificial general intelligence that is safe and

benefits all of humanity which is also the point of Elon Musk's lawsuit against the company.

So looking forward it's plausible that we could see that structure change and the elimination

of caps on the maximum financial returns to investors and employees.

Now not that Open AI has had any problem raising billions of dollars in capital but it could further open

the floodgates for more money especially as the competition heats up there would be more

of a payoff if it wasn't a nonprofit now another interesting dynamic of the new board,

it includes several executives with experience

at Meta, another controversial tech company

that's been under fire and had to face responsibility

and ethics scrutiny over the years.

There's Brett Taylor, Fiji Simo, and Dr. Susan Desmond Helmand.
