Bret Taylor serves as board chair of OpenAI; former board members have included Ilya Sutskever (co-founder) and Elon Musk (early backer).
Summary
This records who currently sits at the top of OpenAI's governance and notes that the board has seen high-profile departures, including its co-founder and an early investor. It matters because it anchors the system's understanding of who holds decision-making authority at one of the most consequential AI labs, and the history of board changes signals a pattern of instability worth tracking.
