Sam Altman, the former CEO of OpenAI, is determined to regain his position after being abruptly fired. He and the former president, Greg Brockman, are reportedly in talks with Microsoft to run a new artificial intelligence laboratory. However, they are still keen on returning to OpenAI. The threat of 500 company workers resigning if the board doesn’t resign and the fired executives aren’t reinstated has added pressure to the situation.

One of Altman’s supporters is Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI and company executive, who was allegedly one of the main reasons behind his dismissal. Microsoft also supports the desire for Altman and Brockman to regain their positions. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, stated that changes need to happen around the governance of OpenAI and that there are open options for the two fired executives.
