Microsoft Wants to Work With Altman, No Matter What, Says CEO
This article is for subscribers only.
Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella signaled that he’d be open to Sam Altman going back to OpenAI, rather than joining his company as part of a surprise move announced over the weekend.
Whether Altman joins Microsoft or returns to OpenAI — as some of the startup’s investors have been trying to arrange — the entrepreneur will be working with Microsoft, Nadella said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. Microsoft is the biggest backer of OpenAI, the startup where Altman was ousted as CEO last week, ensuring that the software giant will maintain ties with him.
