OpenAI Inc. suffered a governance crisis in November 2023, when the company’s non-profit board removed chief executive officer (CEO) Sam Altman without warning, then reversed the decision days later following a near-universal employee revolt and intervention by Microsoft. The episode exposed deep tensions within OpenAI’s governance structure: a mission-focused non-profit board, a capital-intensive operating entity, and a powerful commercial partner without formal governance authority.The crisis revealed competing interpretations of purpose, authority, and legitimacy embedded within OpenAI’s governance design.
