What just happened? Sam Altman is definitely not returning to OpenAI following his shock firing a few days ago. Instead, he will be joining Microsoft as the head of a new artificial intelligence research team, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
Altman, one of the initial board members of OpenAI, was fired as CEO of the ChatGPT company on Friday. The decision came after a review by the board of directors which said it no longer had confidence in Altman’s ability to lead OpenAI and stay “consistently candid in his communications with the board.” His departure led several OpenAI members, including co-founder Greg Brockman, to leave the company in protest.
Given Altman’s well-known status in the tech world, and the fact he headed the company that kicked off a generative artificial intelligence revolution so impactful on society that “AI” became the word of year, there were discussions about reinstating Altman in his CEO position just a day after he was fired.
