Microsoft's internal correspondence regarding the OpenAI crisis has emerged

We began the last business day of last week with OpenAI's decision to fire its CEO, Sam Altman. Afterward, we watched the events unfold as if we were watching a series. While it was announced that Altman would move to Microsoft, OpenAI employees also declared they were ready to resign following Altman. In the end, OpenAI's board of directors changed, and Altman returned to his post.

In the news coverage of the process by Webtekno, Microsoft played an important role. The commercial arm that the non-profit OpenAI later established had also received a very significant investment from Microsoft. The company also has its own internal artificial intelligence structure. In other words, no matter what happened, Microsoft employees were going to be affected by this situation.
