It’s been an active few days for Sam Altman, he’s been from CEO of OpenAI to fire as CEO, then on Saturday rehired. As of today, Altman has found a new position with Microsoft to lead its AI research division. Satya Nadella had this to say on his X profile (formerly Twitter).
Nadella made it clear during Microsoft Ignite 2023 last week that the two companies have an extremely healthy relationship. Greg Brockman also posted on X (formally Twitter) that he and other Open AI leaders would be joining the Microsoft team.
Investors are clearly happy with the decision as Microsoft stock has reached an all-time high after announcing the new hires. Shares hit as high as $377.10 on Monday.
