The drama unfolds

Friday, November 17
- Altman was fired from his role as the CEO of OpenAI following a review from the board of directors, the company announced.
- According to OpenAI’s statement, Altman was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, and they lost confidence in his ability to lead OpenAI.
- Following Altman’s departure, OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman announced his departure as well.
- Mira Murati, former chief technology officer, stepped in to take over as interim CEO.

Sunday, November 19

- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced they had hired Altman to lead a new AI department alongside Brockman and other departed OpenAI employees.

Monday, November 20

- The employees threatened to quit and join the newly announced AI department at Microsoft.

Tuesday, November 21
