A big change happened at Microsoft and OpenAI. Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, who started OpenAI, are now going to work for Microsoft. They will be in charge of a special team that works on advanced artificial intelligence (AI). This news comes just after OpenAI decided Sam Altman shouldn't be their boss anymore.
Last week, Greg Brockman and some other OpenAI people left because they didn't agree with what was happening. Microsoft's boss, Satya Nadella, said that Sam and Greg will work with some of these people at Microsoft. Nadella shared his excitement about giving them everything they need to do great things.
Leadership Changes and New Directions
OpenAI, a company that's really good at AI, used to have Sam Altman as its main person. Microsoft, which makes things like Windows, has already put more than $10 billion into OpenAI. They own almost half of it. Satya Nadella says they still want to help OpenAI grow.
There was a lot of confusion last weekend at OpenAI. The people in charge said Sam Altman couldn't be the boss anymore. Greg Brockman decided to leave too. They tried to talk about it, but it didn't work out. So, OpenAI chose Emmett Shear, who started Twitch, to be their temporary boss. OpenAI didn't say anything when asked about this.
Continuing Collaboration and Future Prospects
Earlier, Sam Altman was also talking to people about starting a new AI business. Satya Nadella says Microsoft is still excited about working with OpenAI. They believe in their plans and the new things they showed at a big Microsoft event. Nadella is looking forward to working with Emmett Shear and the new OpenAI leaders.
Some people who work at OpenAI are upset because the bosses didn't explain why they made Sam Altman leave. A smart person at OpenAI, Andrej Karpathy, wrote about this, saying the bosses missed a chance to explain their big decision.
