Sam Altman returns to Microsoft to lead new AI research group

On the social network X, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Altman and former OpenAI President Greg Brockman and other colleagues will join Microsoft. The software giant has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI and has a close partnership with the startup that developed ChatGPT.

“We will quickly provide them with the resources they need to succeed,” Mr. Nadella wrote. In addition, Microsoft remains committed to working with OpenAI and continuing to support customers and partners.

Sam also shared his new boss's post on X, adding "the mission will continue."

Altman has led OpenAI since 2019. Late on November 17, the OpenAI board announced that Altman was fired and replaced by Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati. The reason given was that he was not straightforward in his communication with the board.

A few hours later, Mr. Nadella announced that Altman and Brockman would return to Microsoft.
