Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner revealed in a podcast that the board was unaware of the company's launch of the chatbot ChatGPT in 2022 until after the fact, learning about it on Twitter. This lack of prior information about ChatGPT's launch contributed to the events leading to CEO Sam Altman's temporary ouster and subsequent reinstatement. Toner also criticized Altman's leadership and lack of transparency on safety issues. The board's decision to fire Altman was based on concerns about his candor and safety processes, with employees supporting his reinstatement.
