Greg Brockman Rejoins OpenAI to Tackle Key Technical Challenges

News Desk

Islamabad: Greg Brockman, co-founder of OpenAI, has officially returned to the company following a three-month leave of absence from his position as president.

The news was confirmed by an OpenAI spokesperson and shared by Brockman himself in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, where he remarked, “Longest vacation of my life complete. Back to building @OpenAI.”

Brockman’s return comes as he teams up with CEO Sam Altman to establish a new role focused on addressing key technical challenges facing OpenAI. According to Bloomberg, this move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the company’s leadership and technical direction.

His return also follows a tumultuous period for OpenAI, marked by significant departures including former Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati, and co-founders John Schulman and Ilya Sutskever. Both Murati and Sutskever have since launched their own AI ventures.

Altman, who was ousted from OpenAI in a surprise move by the board in November 2023, made a dramatic return shortly afterward, ending a brief leadership crisis at the company, which is heavily supported by Microsoft.
