Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner said that CEO Sam Altman was fired because he withheld information from the company's board of directors and inhibited its oversight abilities.

Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner shared new details about the ouster of CEO Sam Altman, who was subsequently rehired with a new board in place, in an interview on Tuesday. Members of OpenAI's former board, including Toner, fired Altman in November and wrote that he was not "consistently candid in his communications" with board members, which hindered the board's ability to carry out its duties.

After years of this kind of thing, all four of us who fired him came to the conclusion that we just couldn't believe things that Sam was telling us," Toner said. "And that's a completely unworkable place to be as a board – especially a board that is supposed to be providing independent oversight over the company, not just like helping the CEO to raise more money.
