On November 20th, Microsoft is considering taking a role in OpenAI's board of directors as its biggest supporter and in the event that former CEO Sam Altman returns to the developer of ChatGPT. Microsoft may serve as a board member or observer, the latter of which does not have voting rights. This move is part of the efforts made by OpenAI's major supporters and senior leaders to rehire Altman.
It is reported that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella personally assisted OpenAI's interim CEO Mira Murati in related discussions. In addition, if Altman cannot return to OpenAI, Microsoft will consider investing in Altman's new venture. Microsoft has invested over $11 billion in OpenAI, mainly in the form of computing resources, making its technology a core part of Microsoft's AI efforts, including integrating chatbots into the Bing search engine and adding new tools to Office 365 software.
