What you need to know about Emmett Shear, OpenAI's new interim CEO
22.11.2023 - 04:51 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Sam Altman / Mira Murati / Emmett Shear / Greg Brockman
OpenAI is bringing in the former head of Twitch as interim CEO just days after the company pushed out its well-known leader Sam Altman, sparking upheaval in the world of artificial intelligence.
Emmett Shear announced his new role Monday morning in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, while also acknowledging “the process and communications” around Altman's firing Friday were “handled very badly” and damaged trust in the company.
When it abruptly fired Altman, OpenAI said an internal review found the 38-year-old was “not consistently candid in his communications” with the company's board of directors. OpenAI did not provide more details, leaving industry analysts and tech watchers reading tea leaves in an effort to figure out what happened.

Meanwhile, Microsoft, which has invested billions in the AI company, said Monday it's bringing in Altman and former OpenAI President Greg Brockman — who quit in protest following Altman's ouster — to lead the tech giant's new advanced AI research team.
At OpenAI, Shear has promised to shed some light into Altman's departure. In his X post, he pledged to hire an independent investigator to look into what led up to Altman's ouster and write a report within 30 days.
Shear, 40, is the co-founder of the Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch, a social media site that's mostly known for gaming.
Twitch was originally part of the streaming video site Justin.tv, which was founded by Shear and three other tech entrepreneurs in 2006. The focus shifted toward gaming in 2011, a move that turned the platform into a growing phenomenon and birthed a plethora of well-known streamers. Three years later, Amazon purchased the company for about $970 million in cash.
Twitch doesn't garner as much media attention as other social media companies, but it's been the subject of scrutiny during two instances in the past few years when mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Germany were livestreamed on its platform.
Shear left the company in March. He said that was due to the birth of his now 9-month-old son.
After leaving Twitch, Shear became a visiting partner at Y Combinator, a startup incubator that launched Airbnb, DoorDash and Dropbox. Both Altman and Shear know each other as alumni from the first class of startup founders at Y Combinator. Altman later served as Y Combinator's president.
In his LinkedIn profile, Shear says he's been “starting, growing, and running companies since college” and doesn't “plan to turn back any time soon.” He graduated from Yale University in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in computer science.
OpenAI had initially named its chief technology officer, Mira Murati, as interim CEO on Friday. But she appeared to be one of the
