OpenAI Faces SEC Probe Amid Leadership Shake-Up
In the latest development surrounding OpenAI, the tech giant is now the subject of an investigation by the SEC, reportedly due to concerns over potential misinformation provided to investors.
This comes amidst a period of internal upheaval, including the removal and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman.
The reshuffling of leadership also saw the departure of co-founder Ilya Sutskever and the inclusion of Microsoft as a non-voting member of the board. Despite repeated requests for comment, OpenAI has remained tight-lipped on the matter.
The SEC’s inquiry, which was not previously disclosed, involves the examination of internal documents and follows a subpoena issued to OpenAI in December.
This latest controversy adds to the ongoing scrutiny over OpenAI’s governance structure, as the company continues its transition from a non-profit entity to a major player in the AI industry.
