OpenAI recently faced a boardroom conflict, resulting in the departure of the former CEO and key scientists. An attempted merger with a competitor was also rejected. The board resigned, and Altman has returned as CEO, with a new board expected. There are speculations that Microsoft, a major investor, may have influenced the board's decision. As a result, there is uncertainty about OpenAI's future direction and its commitment to altruistic goals. Users should still utilize OpenAI's services but be prepared for potential changes in the AI landscape.
