OpenAI's board has appointed Emmett Scheer as a new interim CEO to succeed Sam Altman, defying investor calls to reinstate Altman, according to Bloomberg sources. Before that, Scheer was CEO of live streaming site Twitch.

The move comes as Mira Moratti, who was interim CEO of OpenAI after Altman's dismissal, seeks to bring him and former President Greg Brockman back to the company in positions that have not yet been determined. The board of directors of OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT, was subjected to great pressure from major investors in the company, led by Microsoft, its largest shareholder, to cancel its decision to dismiss Sam Altman from the position of CEO. It is noteworthy that the company's president, Greg Brockman, submitted his resignation in rejection of the board of directors' decision.
