Sam Altman, the co-founder and former CEO of OpenAI, was hired by Microsoft just days after the tech guru was ousted from the artificial intelligence company.
Microsoft CEO and Chairman Satya Nadella on Monday said the tech giant is “extremely excited” to announce Altman and OpenAI co-founder and former President Greg Brockman will be joining Microsoft to lead a “new advanced AI research team.”
In a repost of Nadella’s announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Altman wrote, “the mission continues.”
“I’m super excited to have you join as CEO of this new group, Sam, setting a new pace for innovation,” Nadella wrote in response to Altman.
Brockman, who stepped down as the board’s chairman on Friday and eventually quit following Altman’s ouster, responded to Nadella’s announcement, writing on X, “We are going to build something new & it will be incredible.”
OpenAI, which is known for creating the AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT, announced last Friday Altman would be stepping down as CEO following a review that found he was “not consistently candid in his communications with the board.”
