The removal of Sam Altman as CEO of OpenAI marked a pivotal shift in the organization, driven by the board of directors' expressed lack of confidence in his leadership. Following this decision, Mira Murati, who served as the Chief Technology Officer, was appointed as the interim CEO. This transition was not isolated; it also led to significant changes in the company's leadership structure. Greg Brockman, who held the position of president, was removed from his role as chairman of the board and subsequently resigned from the presidency. This series of leadership changes indicated a broader reevaluation of the company's direction and governance. In the wake of these events, the organization experienced further instability as three senior researchers chose to resign. This included Jakub Pachocki, the director of research and the lead for GPT-4, Aleksander Mądry, who was responsible for AI risk, and researcher Szymon Sidor. The departures of these key figures raised concerns about the future of OpenAI's project
