Emmett Shear, ex-Twitch boss, to become new interim CEO of OpenAI: Report

Ex-Twitch boss Emmett Shear will be the new interim CEO, Reuters reported citing ‘The Information’. After Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, and despite efforts from the company’s executives to bring him back, Altman will not return as the CEO of OpenAI.

Emmett Shear co-founded Twitch, the Amazon.com Inc.-owned live video streaming platform. He had stepped down earlier this year.

However, OpenAI has not yet officially made a statement on Shear’s appointment. The report by ‘The Information’ did not give any other details.
