The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, Nov. 20, edition that an unnamed source says Sam Altman, the just-ousted chief executive officer of Microsoft-backed OpenAI, is discussing a possible return to the company even as he considers launching a new artificial intelligence (AI) venture. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that a day after the board fired him in a surprise move that rocked the tech world, the source says Mr. Altman was talking with OpenAI executives about improving the company's governance structure while he discusses with some core OpenAI researchers and others loyal to Mr. Altman how they could start a new AI company. On Sunday, Mr. Altman and former president Greg Brockman joined executives at the company's San Francisco headquarters after interim CEO Mira Murati told staff she invited Mr. Altman, according to a news report. OpenAI declined to comment on the details of the report from The Information. Mr. Altman posted on Sunday on messaging platform X an image of himself wearing an OpenAI guest badge with the caption: "first and last time i ever wear one of these." The possibilities of a return or a restart for Mr. Altman are in flux, said the source.
