Nadella confirms: Altman will serve as CEO in new team within Microsoft

According to news from this site on November 20, the OpenAI board of directors fired CEO Sam Altman (Sam Altman) last Friday and stated that it had "lost confidence in his continued leadership of OpenAI." Today Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Altman and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman will join Microsoft to lead Microsoft's new advanced artificial intelligence research team . Nadella said on the X platform that Altman will serve as the CEO of this new team.

On X, Altman retweeted Nadella's post, confirming his news of joining Microsoft and writing "The mission continues." Nadella responded to Altman, revealing some of his thoughts on Altman's new CEO role at Microsoft, saying: "We've learned a lot over the years about how to give space to founders and innovators, Build a separate identity and culture within Microsoft, including GitHub, Mojang Studios, and LinkedIn, and I look forward to you doing the same."

It is worth mentioning that Microsoft usually only assigns the title of CEO to leaders of independent or large businesses within the company. Xbox head Phil Spencer was recently named CEO of Microsoft Gaming, and Microsoft has also used or continues to use the CEO position to manage some of the companies it acquired, including GitHub, LinkedIn, Mojang, and Activision Blizzard, hinting at Microsoft's commitment to the company. A new advanced artificial intelligence research team has bigger plans.

Brockman also revealed that Microsoft’s new team will incorporate some of OpenAI’s core talents. Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI's director of research, will take on an undisclosed leadership role on Microsoft's Advanced Artificial Intelligence Research team. OpenAI's research scientist Szymon Sidor and lead group leader Aleksander Madry will also join Microsoft's leadership team. Many OpenAI employees posted on social media that "without employees, there is nothing", suggesting that more people may leave.

This site noticed that Altman was hired by Microsoft after discussing with OpenAI's board of directors. This came within hours of the collapse of negotiations, with OpenAI's board refusing to resign or allow him to return as OpenAI's CEO.
