Ilya Sutskever, chief scientist at OpenAI, has apologized for his role in Sam Altman's ousting.
Sutskever and Altman co-founded OpenAI in 2016 with the help of Elon Musk.
OpenAI's Ilya Sutskever — who cofounded OpenAI with Sam Altman in 2015 — played a role in kicking the now-former CEO out of the company.
The chief scientist is a member of the board that made the decision to fire Altman. The board had said that it "no longer has confidence" in Altman's ability to lead OpenAI, and said that he was "not consistently candid in his communications."
