NEBRASKA CITY - The ousted leader of ChatGPT maker OpenAI is returning to the company that fired him just days ago.

 The move culminates a short but chaotic power struggle that shocked the tech industry and underscored the conflicts around how to safely build artificial intelligence.

Altman is known for commercialization of artificial intelligence while the board was influenced by a philosophy of effective altruism, which advocates for investment in what brings the most good to human beings.

San Francisco-based OpenAI said late Tuesday that it’s also bringing on a new board of directors that replaces the one that fired Altman as CEO on Friday.

 Lack of transparency surrounding Altman's firing led to a weekend of internal conflict and growing outside pressure from the startup’s investors.

 An expert says the turmoil “shows how fragile the AI ecosystem is right now, including addressing AI’s risks.”

Also in technology news, Congressman Mike Flood says China has marshaled an army of lobbyists to put the brakes on a ban of TiKToK.

Flood said TikTok’s chief executive struggled to satisfy lawmakers who quizzed him on privacy concerns and data security, while lobbying efforts raised support for TikTok in the U.S. House and Republican Sen. Rand Paul took to the Senate floor to block legislation.

He said TikTok influencers took to an app that promoted Osama Bin Laden'S so-called Letter to America, evangelizing antisemitism, anti-capitalism and anti-American messages.

Rep. Flood is calling for a ban on TikTok and its casual support for terrorism.
