After the unexpected departure of CEO Sam Altman from OpenAI, insiders suggest that dozens of OpenAI employees have declared their intentions to resign. This news comes after company board director and chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, announced that Altman, who was fired recently, would not be returning to the company.
Several employees at OpenAI had expressed interest in collaborating with Altman if he were to establish a new artificial intelligence company. It seems these individuals are now likely to join Altman's team at Microsoft instead.
This move follows the announcement earlier today by Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, that OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman will be joining Microsoft. Both will helm the new Microsoft artificial intelligence team, and Microsoft is set to swiftly supply Altman's team with the necessary resources.
