Sam Altman and Greg Brockman and many of their former OpenAI colleagues will join Microsoft, the software conglomerate's chief Satya Nadella said on Monday, capping three intense days of discussion following the sudden departure of the AI startup's executives.
At Microsoft, former OpenAI members will lead a "new advanced AI research team," Nadella said in a statement. “We hope to act quickly to provide them with the resources necessary for their success,” she added.
Nadella, whose company has invested more than 10 thousand million dollars in OpenAI, said the company remains committed to the startup.
“We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and are confident in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced in Microsoft Ignite, and to continue supporting our customers and partners. We look forward to meeting and working with Emmett Shear and the new OAI leadership team. And we are very excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, along with their colleagues, will join Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. “We look forward to acting quickly to provide them with the resources necessary for their success.” @satyanadella
