“This is far from over” - OpenAI: The Battle of the Board. Altman may be back, but serious questions remain, chief among them: at what cost? Is Sam the steward we need to usher in AGI? Can we trust him to do the right thing, especially after this chaos? This is a drama that could have serious effects on many levels of society going forward. Worth watching closely by the public and regulators. #OpenAI #SamAltman #AI #CorporateGovernance #nonprofits #BoardBattles https://thezvi.substack.com/p/openai-the-battle-of-the-board

in 2018 #Carillion collapsed spring the #Tories to commit t a major overhaul of the UK's #corporategovernance.

Five years on:

The proposal to strengthen the explicit responsibility requirement on directors has not happened.

The under-performing & weary run Financial Reporting Council remains un-reformed.

And the #Audit sector (subject of widening criticism) also remains largely untouched.

So, just more #Tory declaration #politics with no actual action; Why's that? you might ask
