OpenAI on Friday announced CEO Sam Altman would be returning to the company's board, along with three new outside board members. The moves come as OpenAI wraps an external investigation into the events that led to his brief ouster last year.
Why it matters: The company has been looking to move past its dramatic leadership crisis of last November.
Driving the news: Open AI's board also added three women to its ranks — Sue Desmond-Hellmann, former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; Nicole Seligman, former EVP and general counsel at Sony Corporation; and Fidji Simo, CEO and chair of Instacart.
