San Francisco | OpenAI’s board has hired former Twitch chief Emmett Shear as chief executive, defying calls from investors to reinstate the ousted Sam Altman, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr Shear stepped down as CEO of Amazon.com’s game-streaming site Twitch earlier this year. He won over directors because he appeared to recognise the existential threats that AI presented, one of the people said.
