On Monday, Sam Altman rejoined Microsoft, following his dismissal as CEO a few days prior.”We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote on X to announce Altman’s appointment.
“We are excited to collaborate with Emmett Shear and OAI’s new leadership group.” Furthermore, we are thrilled to announce that Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and associates will be joining Microsoft to head a brand-new advanced AI research team. The CEO of Microsoft wrote, “We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.”
Earlier in the day, OpenAI rejected investor demands to reinstall Altman and instead appointed Emmett Shear, the former CEO of Twitch, as the new CEO.
The business that developed ChatGPT, OpenAI, fired Altman on Saturday, citing a lack of trust in his abilities to steer the AI startup financed by Microsoft.
The board of the business expressed its gratitude for Sam’s numerous contributions to the establishment and development of OpenAI in a statement. However, we think that as we proceed, new leadership will be required.
