| 20231211 | 20231221 (R4) | Until 17 November, Sam Altman was riding high. The CEO of OpenAI was bringing artificial intelligence to the world. Then he wasn't. Deposed in a board coup, Altman's firing kickstarted 106 hours of chaos at the company spearheading the AI revolution. Journalist and author Chris Stokel-Walker explores the possible reasons why Altman was fired, how the incident reflects a broader deep-seated unease at AI's transformative effects on society, and what it means now Altman has returned more powerful than ever before.
