Sam Altman is returning to the board of OpenAI, months after being fired and rehired following a boardroom dispute. An internal investigation found that his dismissal was unjust. Altman will join three new directors on the board: Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Nicole Seligman, and Fidji Simo. Bret Taylor, the chair of the board, expressed excitement over the new additions. Quora CEO Adam D\'Angelo remains from the previous board. Altman, known for the release of ChatGPT in 2022, faced a chaotic firing that led to employee discontent and Microsoft\'s intervention.
