Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

No, Bard is just making a prediction based on the way CEO firings are presented in press releases. Those press releases are never the "real" reason, what we're seeing here is the way a board would frame the firing of its CEO. "Ethical breach" is the term used when "The CEO was killing hookers for fun and WHOO-WEE we did NOT want to get any of that on us," is not considered appropriate to tell the press.
