首席技术官米拉·穆拉蒂被任命为OpenAI的临时首席执行官;萨姆·奥特曼离开了该公司。
The board of directors of OpenAI, Inc., the 501(c)(3) that acts as the overall governing body for all OpenAI activities, today announced that Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.
OpenAI公司的董事会,作为OpenAI所有活动的总体管理机构的501(c)(3)组织,今天宣布Sam Altman将辞去CEO职务并离开董事会。公司的首席技术官Mira Murati将立即担任临时CEO。
A member of OpenAI’s leadership team for five years, Mira has played a critical role in OpenAI’s evolution into a global AI leader. She brings a unique skill set, understanding of the company’s values, operations, and business, and already leads the company’s research, product, and safety functions. Given her long tenure and close engagement with all aspects of the company, including her experience in AI governance and policy, the board believes she is uniquely qualified for the role and anticipates a seamless transition while it conducts a formal search for a permanent CEO.
作为OpenAI领导团队的一员,Mira在过去的五年里在OpenAI发展成为全球AI领导者的过程中发挥了关键作用。她带来了独特的技能组合,对公司的价值观、运营和业务有深入理解,并已经领导公司的研究、产品和安全功能。鉴于她的长期任期和与公司所有方面的紧密接触,包括她在AI治理和政策方面的经验,董事会认为她对这个角色有独特的资格,并期待在进行正式寻找永久CEO的过程中能有一个无缝的过渡。
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 board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.
Altman先生的离职是董事会经过深思熟虑的审查过程后的结果,董事会得出的结论是他在与董事会的沟通中并未始终坦诚,这阻碍了董事会行使其职责的能力。董事会对他继续领导OpenAI的能力已经失去了信心。
In a statement, the board of directors said: “OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission. We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company’s research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period.”
在一份声明中,董事会表示:“OpenAI的构建初衷就是为了推进我们的使命:确保人工通用智能惠及全人类。董事会将一如既往地致力于这一使命。我们感谢Sam对OpenAI的创立和发展做出的诸多贡献。同时,我们认为在我们前进的道路上,需要新的领导力量。作为公司研究、产品和安全功能的领导者,Mira非常适合担任临时CEO的角色。我们对她在这个过渡期间领导OpenAI的能力充满了信心。”
OpenAI’s board of directors consists of OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, independent directors Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, technology entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s Helen Toner.
OpenAI的董事会由OpenAI首席科学家Ilya Sutskever、独立董事Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo、科技企业家Tasha McCauley,以及乔治城大学安全与新兴技术中心的Helen Toner组成。
As a part of this transition, Greg Brockman will be stepping down as chairman of the board and will remain in his role at the company, reporting to the CEO.
作为这个过渡的一部分,Greg Brockman将辞去董事会主席的职务,但仍将在公司中保持他的角色,向CEO汇报。
OpenAI was founded as a non-profit in 2015 with the core mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. In 2019, OpenAI restructured to ensure that the company could raise capital in pursuit of this mission, while preserving the nonprofit's mission, governance, and oversight. The majority of the board is independent, and the independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. While the company has experienced dramatic growth, it remains the fundamental governance responsibility of the board to advance OpenAI’s mission and preserve the principles of its Charter.
OpenAI于2015年作为一个非营利组织成立,其核心使命是确保人工通用智能能够造福全人类。2019年,OpenAI进行了重组,以确保公司在追求这一使命的同时,能够筹集资金,同时保留非营利组织的使命、治理和监督。董事会的大部分成员是独立的,独立董事不持有OpenAI的股权。尽管公司经历了显著的增长,但推进OpenAI的使命和保护其章程原则仍然是董事会的基本治理责任。
