Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hired former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to lead a new advanced artificial intelligence research team, and just two days later, the decision to dismiss him was rescinded by management.
On November 22, the company announced a new deal has been struck that would allow Altman to return as the company’s CEO. The company confirmed this decision with an official tweet. According to OpenAI, the company and Altman are “collaborating to determine the details”. Sam Altman responded to his request to join OpenAI by retweeting the job announcement with a ‘heart’ emoji.
These sudden changes appear to be a reflection of an evolution in the company’s strategic objectives or management vision. The return of Sam Altman as the future leader of OpenAI‘s artificial intelligence research could reflect the company’s efforts to focus on its long-term goals.

Furthermore, when Altman decided to leave his new role at Microsoft, his “love” for OpenAI and his added remarks were notable:
“I look forward to returning and enhancing our strong partnership with Microsoft.”
Nadella supported the decision of Altman and president Greg Brockman to return. Nadella emphasized how important this decision is for OpenAI to continue to evolve and strengthen its mission. Altman‘s brief departure clearly revealed his role in unifying the team.
Also, on November 20, it was reported that 505 out of 700 OpenAI employees signed a letter claiming that the board of management’s decision to fire Altman undermined the company’s mission. This incident reveals the extent of disagreements within the company and how Altman‘s leadership style is perceived among employees.
