While testifying in the ongoing OpenAI trial, former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said he spent a year gathering evidence for the company's board that CEO Sam Altman had displayed a "consistent pattern of lying". He said he had discussed removing ​Altman with then-CTO Mira Murati "for a long time". Altman's conduct "wasn't conducive to any grand goal", Sutskever added.
