Sam Altman returns to Open AI with support from Satya Nadella
Following Nadella's offer to Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for an AI research project at Microsoft, OpenAI reversed its decision and reinstated the fired employees.
Just days after firing CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI announced his reinstatement along with a new board. Confirming the development, Altman said he was looking forward to returning to OpenAI with support from Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella.
"We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this, “ OpenAI said in a post on X.
Interestingly, the reinstatement came after OpenAI named Emmett Shear to replace Altman, following which Microsoft, said it would hire Altman and those fired with him to lead a new in-house AI team.
“I love openai, and everything i've done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. I'm looking forward to returning to openai, and building on our strong partnership with msft (Microsoft)," Altman posted on X following his return to the firm.
In another post, he added, "Satya and my top priority remain to ensure OpenAI continues to thrive. We are committed to fully providing continuity of operations to our partners and customers. The OpenAI/Microsoft partnership makes this very doable."
Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, also took to X to express Microsoft's commitment to its partnership with OpenAI. Nadella's tweet read, “We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance.”
“Sam, Greg, and I have talked and agreed they have a key role to play along with the OAI leadership team in ensuring OAI continues to thrive and build on its mission. We look forward to building on our strong partnership and delivering the value of this next generation of AI to our customers and partners,” it added
