Back at OpenAI, Sam Altman outlines the company’s priorities

Sam Altman, who was ousted this month and then reinstated as CEO of OpenAI, outlined his priorities for the artificial intelligence company on Wednesday as he takes back the reins.

In a blog post, Altman, 38, said OpenAI would resume its work building secure AI systems and products that benefited its customers. He added that the company’s board would focus on improving governance and overseeing an independent review of the events leading up to and following his Nov. 17 resignation as CEO.

OpenAI said that for the foreseeable future its board of directors would consist of the three people it named last week: Bret Taylor, an early Facebook executive and a former co-CEO of Salesforce; Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury Secretary; and Adam D’Angelo, the CEO of the question-and-answer site Quora, who was also among the board members who ousted Mr. Altman.
