    Sam Altman Sacked: If Ousted OpenAI Chief Returns as CEO, OpenAI Board Will Be Gutted, Says Elon Musk

    San Francisco, November 19: Breaking his silence on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s sacking, tech billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday said that if he returns as CEO, the board will be gutted. His comment comes when an X user @enriquebrgn posted a screenshot, asking an AI chatbot a question related to Altman sacking. “So is Sam Altman back as CEO or not?,” the user asked the AI chatbot.

    “Well, it seems like the situation with Sam Altman and his role at OpenAl is quite the rollercoaster ride! Just yesterday, he was fired by the board for allegedly not being candid enough in his communications but now they’re in talks to bring him back as CEO,” the chatbot responded. Sam Altman Sacked: OpenAI Board Now Wants Ousted Sam Altman To Return as CEO, Says Report.

    “From what I gather, the board is currently in discussions with Altman, and he is reportedly “ambivalent” about returning. If he does come back, he might want some changes in the governance structure,” it added. To which Musk replied: “If he does return, the board will be gutted”. In another post by a user on X, reading, “Leaving OpenAI for equity in Sam Altman’s new venture could be a profitable decision for many OpenAI employees”. Sam Altman Sacked: Ousted OpenAI CEO Plans New AI Venture, Says Report.

    Musk replied: “We should dispense with the false idea that money is somehow relevant in an AGi future”. After creating a high-voltage drama after abruptly sacking Altman, the OpenAI board is now reportedly in discussions with him to return to the company as its CEO.

    However, Altman, who was fired by the board on a video call, is “ambivalent” about coming back and would seek key governance changes, reports The Verge, citing people aware of the development. Three top-level researchers at OpenAI have reportedly quit, following the sacking of Altman and the resignation of Co-founder and President, Greg Brockman.

  • AI to CIOs: 80% of Chief Information Officers in Asia-Pacific Will Harness Artificial Intelligence by 2028, Says Report

    AI to CIOs: 80% of Chief Information Officers in Asia-Pacific Will Harness Artificial Intelligence by 2028, Says Report

    New Delhi, November 11: About 80 per cent of chief information officers (CIOs) will leverage organisational changes to harness artificial intelligence (AI), automation and analytics by 2028 in Asia/Pacific Japan — driving agile, insight-driven digital businesses. The rapid and expansive growth of AI in the digital business landscape emphasises the widening application of AI and the challenges and considerations for its effective implementation, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC).

    In fact, IDC predicts that by 2026, tech providers will allocate half of R&D, staffing, and CAPEX investments to AI/automation, resulting in CIOs struggling with aligning vendor selection and IT operations priorities with new use cases. AI To Boost Quality Engineering at Core of Business Operations, 77% Firms Invest in Artificial Intelligence To Bolster QE: Report.

    As AI evolves from handling specific tasks to broader applications, the need for data-centric infrastructures, skill transformations, and trust is further emphasised, the report mentioned. “The rise of GenAI promises new opportunities for companies to leverage AI. AI is viewed not just as a tool but a game-changer, poised to revolutionise business productivity and open new revenue avenues,” said Sandra Ng, GVP & General Manager for IDC Asia/Pacific Japan research. IDC predicts that spending on digital technology by organisations will grow at 4X the economy in 2024.

    Additionally, by 2027, 80 per cent of CEOs will assert that their C-suite technology leader’s primary function should be to invest in digital-first initiatives. IDC sees a three-phased evolution of AI adoption in the region from 2023-2028, from productivity enhancements in 2023, progressing to customer engagement by 2024 and introducing new business models by 2025. AI for Health: Artificial Intelligence To Bring High-Quality and Affordable Healthcare to People, Says Google.

    “As the digital age accelerates, the Asia-Pacific region stands out as a frontrunner in embracing digital transformation. AI emerges not just as a tool but as a transformative force, reshaping industries and introducing new paradigms of growth. The future is digital, interconnected, and AI-driven,” said Ng.

    Elon Musk Actively Searching for New Chief Executive for Twitter, Says Report

    San Francisco, Dec 20: Elon Musk, who lost his own poll on whether he should quit as Twitter CEO or not, is reportedly searching for a new chief executive for the micro-blogging platform, the media reported on Tuesday.

    The report came as Musk said that the US government “paid Twitter millions of dollars to censor info from the public”.

    According to a CNBC report, Musk has been actively searching for a replacement even before posting the poll on Sunday. Elon Musk Begins Crackdown on ‘Impersonators’, Says ‘Twitter Accounts Engaging in Impersonation Without Specifying ’Parody’ To Be Suspended Without Warning’.

    In fact, that search has been “ongoing”, the report added.

    Stunned at his own Twitter poll result which decided he should quit as the CEO, Musk took a U-turn on Tuesday, saying that going forward, only Blue subscribers will be able to participate in polls organised by him.

    His Twitter poll had revealed that a whopping 57.5 per cent people wanted him to quit as the CEO of the micro-blogging platform.

    “No one wants a job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,” he had said on Sunday.

    “The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive,” he added. Elon Musk to Step Down As Twitter CEO? Twitter Poll Result Shows Users Voted ‘Yes’ by Margin of 15%.

    Last month, Musk had said that he does not want to be the CEO of any company, be it Tesla or Twitter.

  • Twitter Blue With Verification ‘Completely Flawed’, Says Europe’s Competition Chief Margrethe Vestager; Slams Elon Musk

    Twitter Blue With Verification ‘Completely Flawed’, Says Europe’s Competition Chief Margrethe Vestager; Slams Elon Musk

    London, November 17 : Europe’s competition chief has said that Elon Musk’s idea for a subscription model to pay for Twitter’s sought-after blue with verification is “completely flawed”.  If you have imposter accounts, of course, I think your business model is fundamentally flawed,” Margrethe Vestager, executive vice president of the European Commission, told CNBC on Wednesday.

    “If you are to pay to be vetted and to be certified as being who you are and everyone can be you. I think that business model simply is completely flawed,” she added. Twitter Blue Tick to Make Reappearance on November 29.

    Twitter introduced its $8/month Blue subscription service, which allows users to access the platform’s coveted blue check, a tool formerly used to confirm the identities of journalists, lawmakers, and other public people.

    Musk on Wednesday announced that the service would relaunch on November 29. The feature was paused after a wave of users impersonated verified accounts.  Twitter Blue With Free Verification Badge Rolls Out in India For Select Users, To Cost Rs 719 Per Month: Reports.

    Moreover, Musk has been urged by a number of European officials to abide by European laws, according to the report. In order to combat disinformation and protect user privacy, the EU has recently strengthened its legal framework in recent years.

    Vestager said the revised policy will make it easier to monitor Big Tech developments, including Musk’s changes at Twitter, but she denied that her team is on a collision course with the firm’s chief executive. “We are never on a collision course with anyone because we consider ourselves a mountain,” she added.

    Bose said that he will be joining “the entrepreneurial world” after a small break.

    Thukral will be responsible for public policy matters of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in India.

    “Over the last year, he has played an important role in leading our policy-led initiatives in areas such as user-safety, privacy and scaling up programmes like GOAL to drive digital inclusion in the country. He has also been leading proactive engagement with critical policy and regulatory stakeholders. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him very best for the future,” Chopra said.
