Will OpenAI Offer Board Seat To Microsoft?
The ChatGPT AI chatbot owner OpenAI again created a buzz within the artificial intelligence (AI) universe as it recently announced plans to form a new board of members following the re-instating of Sam Altman. This new board of members was much eyed by Microsoft as the tech giant till now invested over $10 billion in OpenAI’s AI venture.
Altman was recently fired by OpenAI’s board of members as he was seen as a bad actor within the company by most of the remaining board members.
Furthermore, what’s interesting is, according to recent reports, OpenAI is not expected to offer Microsoft a seat on its board of members, along with other significant investors, including Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures.
The forming of a new board for the AI pioneer comes forth as a result of Sam Altman’s reinstation, as he was promised a new board of members.
OpenAI Advances Following Altman’s Reinstation
The exit of Altman stirred up quite the speculation within the AI industry as OpenAI initially positioned itself as a key player within the realm. However, he was soon reinstated.
Furthermore, upon talks of including Microsoft within OpenAI’s board of members, Thomas Hayes, chairman of hedge fund Great Hill Capital, stated that OpenAI’s decision, whether or not to include Microsoft in its board, is yet unknown.
Moreover, he drew attention to the fact that Microsoft, one of OpenAI’s biggest investors, will surely have something to say about it, adjoining that it would not be in Microsoft’s best interests to sit passively.
