Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced on Monday (November 20) that Altman and Greg Brockman, another founder and chairman of OpenAI, will join Microsoft to lead the new advanced artificial intelligence Intelligence research team. After Altman was fired from OpenAI, Brockman announced his resignation last Friday.
Meanwhile, technology magazine Wired published a letter on Monday purportedly from some OpenAI executives threatening to reinstate Altman if the board that fired him does not. , they all resigned and followed Altman to join Microsoft.
The letter was signed by Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist.

What does it mean to regulate artificial intelligence?
Altman’s firing from OpenAI shocked the technology world. In announcing Altman’s dismissal, the artificial intelligence startup said it made the decision after an evaluation found that he “was not always candid” in his communications with the board.

The media pointed out that although Microsoft CEO Nadella preferred to see Altman reinstated, when the board of directors insisted on its decision, he made a shrewd decision: to provide Altman, Brockman and their followers with Career Opportunities. Now, Microsoft can continue to use OpenAI’s models to power its products in the short term, while also providing funding and computing power to a new team led by Altman to build new Microsoft models in the long term and gain a group of talented artificial intelligence from OpenAI. Intelligence researchers. However, it is worth noting that the new AI project led by Altman, who joined Microsoft, will not be restricted by a non-profit management structure like OpenAI, which means that he may go faster.
