"We want to partner with OpenAI and we want to partner with Sam so irrespective of where Sam is he's working with Microsoft," chief executive Satya Nadella said in a streamed Bloomberg interview. "Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAI employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join." A key AI executive at Microsoft confirmed that they all were welcome from OpenAI if the board that removed Altman didn't resign. Nadella wrote on X that Altman will lead a new advanced AI research team at Microsoft, joined by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman. Global tech titan Microsoft has invested more than $10 billion in OpenAI and has rolled out the artificial intelligence pioneer's tech in its own products.
