The board of directors of OpenAI, Inc., the 501(c)(3) that acts as the overall governing body for all OpenAI activities, today announced that Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately. OpenAI，作为所有OpenAI活动的总体治理机构，其501（c）（3）董事会今天宣布，Sam Altman将辞去CEO职务并离开董事会。该公司首席技术官Mira Murati将担任临时CEO，立即生效。
A member of OpenAI’s leadership team for five years, Mira has played a critical role in OpenAI’s evolution into a global AI leader. She brings a unique skill set, understanding of the company’s values, operations, and business, and already leads the company’s research, product, and safety functions. Given her long tenure and close engagement with all aspects of the company, including her experience in AI governance and policy, the board believes she is uniquely qualified for the role and anticipates a seamless transition while it conducts a formal search for a permanent CEO. Mira Murati是OpenAI的领导团队成员已有五年，在OpenAI发展成为全球AI领导者方面发挥了关键作用。她带来了独特的技能组合，了解公司的价值观、运营和业务，并且已经领导了公司的研究、产品和安全性职能。鉴于她的长期任职和与公司各个方面密切合作的经验，包括她在AI治理和政策方面的经验，董事会认为她具备这个角色所要求的独特资格，并期待在正式寻找永久CEO的过程中实现平稳过渡。
Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.
Altman先生的离职是由董事会经过慎重审查后决定的。董事会认为他在与董事会的沟通中并不始终坦诚，这阻碍了董事会行使职责的能力。董事会不再对他继续领导OpenAI的能力有信心。
In a statement, the board of directors said: “OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission. We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company’s research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period.”
董事会发表声明称：“OpenAI的结构旨在推进我们的使命：确保人工智能对所有人类的福祉。董事会仍然完全致力于服务这一使命。我们感谢Sam对OpenAI的创立和成长的贡献。然而，我们认为，随着我们前进，新的领导力是必要的。作为公司研究、产品和安全性职能的领导者，Mira非常适合担任临时CEO的角色。我们绝对信任她在过渡期间领导OpenAI的能力。”

OpenAI的董事会由OpenAI首席科学家Ilya Sutskever、独立董事Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo、技术企业家Tasha McCauley和乔治敦国家安全和新兴技术中心的Helen Toner组成。
As a part of this transition, Greg Brockman will be stepping down as chairman of the board and will remain in his role at the company, reporting to the CEO.
作为过渡的一部分，Greg Brockman将辞去董事会主席的职务，并将继续留在公司，向CEO报告。
OpenAI was founded as a non-profit in 2015 with the core mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. In 2019, OpenAI restructured to ensure that the company could raise capital in pursuit of this mission, while preserving the nonprofit's mission, governance, and oversight. The majority of the board is independent, and the independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. While the company has experienced dramatic growth, it remains the fundamental governance responsibility of the board to advance OpenAI’s mission and preserve the principles of its Charter.
OpenAI成立于2015年，非营利性的核心使命是确保人工智能造福全人类。2019年，OpenAI进行了重组，以确保公司可以追求这一使命，同时保留非营利组织的使命、治理和监督。董事会的大部分是独立的，独立的董事不在OpenAI持有股份。尽管公司经历了显著的增长，但它仍然是董事会的基本责任，即推动OpenAI的使命和保护其章程的原则。
