When the OpenAI chaos finally quieted down last week, the media was quick to name winners. Sam Altman—the OpenAI cofounder and CEO who was fired by OpenAI’s board, then hired by Microsoft, then reinstated as OpenAI CEO—certainly came out on top. “Human civilization is at stake here.”Why should OpenAI’s board include directors who are not white men? For one, because of its governance structure, OpenAI’s board has unusual control over the company (as Altman’s initial firing shows). Nearly 400 Ukrainian women now work underground in mines to replace men who are fighting in the war with Russia.
