OpenAI 高管担忧 Altman 领导风格，致其短暂下台
据《纽约时报》报道，OpenAI 首席技术官 Mira Murati 在 10 月份向董事会以及以备忘录的形式向首席执行官 Sam Altman 本人提出了对 Altman 领导风格的担忧。知情人士称，大约在同一时间，OpenAI 联合创始人兼首席科学家 Ilya Sutskever 也表达了类似的担忧，并引用了他所描述的 Altman 的操纵行为历史。
消息人士称，Murati 在备忘录中详细阐述了她的担忧，包括 Altman 缺乏透明度、对不同意见的容忍度低以及在决策过程中过于依赖直觉。Sutskever 在与董事会的讨论中也表达了类似的担忧，并补充说 Altman 的行为模式造成了公司内部的恐惧文化。
在收到这些担忧后，董事会决定让 Altman 暂时休假，以解决这些问题。Altman 在 11 月短暂下台，由 OpenAI 运营主管 Greg Brockman 担任临时首席执行官。
在休假期间，Altman 与董事会和高管团队进行了会面，讨论了他们的担忧。据悉，Altman 承认了自己的不足，并承诺做出改变。
几天后，Altman 重新担任首席执行官，但留下了许多关于所发生事件的疑问。一些员工对 Altman 的回归表示担忧，认为他未能充分解决他们的担忧。其他人则对 Altman 的承诺表示乐观，并希望他能够从这次经历中吸取教训。
OpenAI 尚未公开评论此事。

**Body:**
OpenAI executives raised concerns about CEO Sam Altman’sleadership style, leading to his brief ouster in October, The New York Times reported.
According to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI’s chief technology officer, Mira Murati, raised her concerns with the board and in a memo to Altman himself in October. Around the same time, OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever also expressed similar concerns, citing what he described as a history of manipulative behavior by Altman, the people said.
In her memo, Murati reportedly detailed her concerns, including Altman’s lack of transparency, low tolerance for dissent and over-reliance on intuition in decision-making. Sutskever echoed similar concerns in his discussions with the board, adding that Altman’s behavior had created a culture of fear within the company.
After receiving these concerns, the board decided to place Altman on temporary leave to address the issues. Altman briefly stepped down in November, with OpenAI’schief operating officer, Greg Brockman, serving as interim CEO.
During his leave, Altman met with the board and the executive team to discuss their concerns. Altman reportedly acknowledged his shortcomings and pledged to make changes.
Altman was reinstated as CEO a few days later, but the episode has left many questions about what transpired. Some employees have expressed concern about Altman’s return, arguing that he has not adequately addressed their concerns. Others are more optimistic about Altman’s commitment to change and hope that he has learned from the experience.
OpenAI has not publicly commented on the matter.
