Tl:dr he lied about a lot of big things and it made the board unable to trust him and trust that safety measures that were said to be put in place are sufficient.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner revealed explosive new details about what led to CEO Sam Altman's brief ousting in November.

In an interview with Bilawal Sidhu on "The Ted AI Show," which aired Tuesday, Toner said Altman had lied to the board multiple times.

She said that made it "basically impossible" for the board to understand if the safety measures were sufficient or if any changes were needed.

"But then, last October, the board had a number of conversations where two executives detailed their own experiences with Altman in which they used the phrase "psychological abuse," according to Toner.

Toner resigned from her role as an OpenAI board member less than two weeks after Altman returned as CEO.

Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting.
