  • OpenAI announced a new male-dominated board after Sam Altman won the battle to return as CEO.
  • Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley are stepping down but fellow coup member Adam D'Angelo is staying on.
  • The lack of diversity in its current selection has sparked a debate online.

OpenAI's board is looking very male-heavy right now following Sam Altman's shock return.

The company said in a statement late on Tuesday that Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, two members of the board that voted to oust Sam Altman on Friday, will step down and be replaced by a new board comprised of ex-Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor — the board chair, former treasury secretary Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.
