Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – OpenAI investors are pushing for the company that owns ChatGPT to return Sam Altman to the position of CEO.
According to CNBC International, OpenAI’s big investors who want Altman to return are Microsoft, Tiger Global, and Thrive Capital. Investors’ efforts to persuade OpenAI’s board of commissioners to restore the CEO position were revealed by several sources.
Sequoia Capital, another OpenAI investor, has also spoken with Altman. The venture capital, which is known as an early investor in Apple and Google, is ready to support Microsoft’s efforts to make Altman CEO again at OpenAI.
However, unlike other investors, Sequoia is also ready to support if Altman and former OpenAI president Greg Brockman, who resigned after Altman was fired, decide to open a new company.
According to The Verge, Altman is still hesitant to return to OpenAI. If he returns, he will ask for governance at OpenAI to be overhauled.

OpenAI caused a stir in the technology world last weekend with the announcement of OpenAI’s dismissal. The position of OpenAI CEO is now temporarily filled by CTO Mira Murati.
Since ChatGPT was launched at the end of last year, OpenAI has become a startup targeted by investors and created a trend in the development of generative AI technology. OpenAI reportedly plans to sell shares owned by its employees at a company valuation of US$ 86 billion (Rp. 1,326 trillion).
Microsoft is reported to have poured billions of US dollars into OpenAI and has strategic cooperation in terms of AI infrastructure and technology. The decision by the OpenAI board of commissioners to fire Altman is said to have shocked Microsoft.
