 <p>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that the company will make governance changes to OpenAI, a start-up in which it invested $13 billion and has a 49% stake. OpenAI recently fired its CEO Sam Altman, whom Microsoft later welcomed.</p>
 <p>Reportedly, Nadella knew about Altman’s firing just minutes before it happened. Speaking with Emily Chang from Bloomberg, Nadella said, <strong>‘Surprises are bad, and we just want to make sure things are done in a way that will allow us to continue to partner well.’</strong></p>

 <p>The firing of Altman revealed a vulnerability in Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI. As it turns out, the company does not have a seat on OpenAI’s board. Not only that, but none of the big investors have board-level power. When asked if he would like a seat on the board, Nadella stated, <strong>‘would definitely want some governance changes.’&nbsp;</strong></p>
 <p>Nadella added, <strong>‘This idea that changes happen without being in the loop is not good, and we will definitely make sure some of the changes needed happen.’</strong></p>

 <p>While speaking with Bloomberg, Nadella signaled that he is open to the idea of Altman returning to OpenAI. However, how the development would take place remains unclear.</p>
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Microsoft" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/microsoft.html">Microsoft</a> chief stated, <strong>‘We really want to partner with <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="OpenAI" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/openai.html">OpenAI</a>, and we want to partner with Sam.’</strong></p>
 <p>Nadella further added, <strong>‘Irrespective to where Sam is, he is working with <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Microsoft" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/microsoft.html">Microsoft</a>. That was the case on Friday, that was the case today, and I absolutely believe that will be the case tomorrow.’</strong></p>

 <p>Altman’s firing from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="OpenAI" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/openai.html">OpenAI</a> sent shockwaves through the company. His departure was followed by several high-level resignations from the company. We may see a restructuring of the AI (Artificial Intelligence) company very soon in a way that there is more communication with investors.</p>
