What Satya Nadella Who Hired Sam Altman Said On His Return To OpenAI

Minutes after Sam Altman announced his decision to return as OpenAI CEO, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who had recently welcomed Altman into the company, said they have discussed the matter and agreed that this is "a first essential step" to build a "more stable, well-informed, and effective governance" in OpenAI.

Microsoft is OpenAI's biggest shareholder and has reportedly invested $13 billion in the company. Soon after Altman was fired from OpenAI, which he co-founded, Nadella had announced that he would join Microsoft with former OpenAI president Greg Brockman to lead a new team for advanced research in Artificial Intelligence.

"We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance. Sam, Greg, and I have talked and agreed they have a key role to play along with the OAI leadership team in ensuring OAI continues to thrive and build on its mission. We look forward to building on our strong partnership and delivering the value of this next generation of AI to our customers and partners," Nadella posted on X while sharing Altman's post announcing his decision to return to OpenAI.
