Savannah Fortis10 hours agoOpenAI seeks to diffuse internal tensions after Altman departure: ReportExecutives at OpenAI have been trying to settle disputes with employees and are in “intense discussions” over how to move forward after the abrupt departure of former CEO Sam Altman.1499 Total views6 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksOpenAI executives are trying to smooth out internal discord after the abrupt termination of former CEO and co-founder Sam Altman and others through “intense discussions,” according to a Bloomberg report. 


An internal memo from OpenAI vice president of global affairs Anna Makanju, as seen on Nov. 20 by Bloomberg, said top management is trying to unify the staff, currently in upheaval over recent events.“We can assure you that our number one goal remains to reunify OpenAI and discussions are actively ongoing.”


Makanju said OpenAI is communicating with incoming CEO Emmett Shear — the former Twitch CEO who was announced as Altman’s replacement on Nov. 20 — the board of directors and Altman himself.


“But they are not prepared to give us a final response this evening,” she said. According to the report, Makanju noted that discussions would continue on Tuesday and tried to assure employees that “we have a plan that we are working toward.”


This comes as tensions have remained high after Altman’s departure, with threats from most of the staff that they would quit if the current board does not resign and reinstate Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman, who also departed after Altman was fired.OpenAI employees floods X with these tweets: pic.twitter.com/DRzSQiX2h4— Barsee (@heyBarsee) November 21, 2023

One member of the board, Ilya Sutskever, took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted that he regrets being a part of the decision that led to the termination of Altman, to which Altman reposted with a “heart” emoji.I deeply regret my participation in the board"s actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we"ve built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.— Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut) November 20, 2023


Despite everything that ensued, Altman has been active on social media, saying the team has been doing an “incredible job through this” and commenting that they are “all going to work together some way or other” with more “unity and commitment and focus than ever before.”


Meanwhile, only three days after the news of the termination, Altman and Brockman were snatched up by Microsoft, a majority stakeholder in OpenAI, to join its team. 


Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, said the two will join the company to lead a new “advanced AI research team” and said the company remains committed to its partnership with OpenAI.


After Microsoft announced this news, Altman said that his and Nadella’s top priority is that OpenAI continues to “thrive” and that they are committed to continuous operations, partnerships and customer relations.satya and my top priority remains to ensure openai continues to thrive

we are committed to fully providing continuity of operations to our partners and customers

the openai/microsoft partnership makes this very doable— Sam Altman (@sama) November 20, 2023
