“Today, I Officially Resigned from the OpenAI Board”, Helen Toner2023-11-30 (OA)⁠:

[announcement] Today, I officially resigned from the OpenAI board.

…Much has been written about the last week or two; much more will surely be said. For now, the incoming board has announced it will supervise a full independent review to determine the best next steps.

To be clear: our decision was about the board’s ability to effectively supervise the company, which was our role and responsibility. Though there has been speculation, we were not motivated by a desire to slow down OpenAI’s work.

…I have enormous respect for the OpenAI team, and wish them and the incoming board of Adam D’Angelo, Bret Taylor and Larry Summers all the best. I’ll be continuing my work focused on AI policy, safety, and security, so I know our paths will cross many times in the coming years.
