OpenAI's recent probe into the firing of CEO Sam Altman reveals a story of trust breakdown and internal politics, rather than concerns over new AI technology. The investigation, conducted by law firm WilmerHale, found that Altman's termination was unwarranted, despite the prior board's actions being within their discretion.
