Artificial intelligence (AI) system developer OpenAI was under new leadership Monday after a series of recent changes that included the removal of former chief executive Sam Altman.
人工智能系统开发商OpenAI最近在经历了包括前首席执行官山姆·奥特曼离开在内的一系列变化后，周一迎来了新的领导层。
OpenAI said on Friday it had dismissed Altman after a "breakdown of communications," with the company's board of directors, several news services reported.
据多家新闻机构报道，OpenAI周五表示，在与公司董事会“沟通中断”后，该公司解雇了奥特曼。

Shear promised to hire an independent investigator to look into what led to Altman's ouster and offered to give a report within 30 days.
谢尔承诺将聘请一名独立调查员调查导致奥特曼被解雇的原因，并提出在30天内提交报告。

谢尔写道：“很明显，山姆被撤职的过程和沟通处理得非常糟糕，这严重损害了我们的信任”。

他指出，“鉴于最近的员工离职情况”，他还计划在未来几周内“改革管理和领导团队，使其成为一支有效的力量”，并与OpenAI产品的员工、投资者和用户进行交谈。
