OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has pledged to donate the majority of his wealth through the Giving Pledge, joining other billionaires in this philanthropic commitment. Altman and his husband have promised to donate over half their fortunes. This announcement comes amid revelations from former OpenAI board member Helen Toner, who disclosed that the board was not informed about the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 and learned about it through Twitter. Toner also highlighted issues of transparency and trust within the company, contributing to Altman's brief ousting from his position on November 17th, 2023.
