OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer and its former interim CEO Mira Murati said on Monday that the leading Artificial Intelligence company is "nothing" without its people.
The tech giant has hired Altman and Greg Brockman, another OpenAI cofounder who had quit in protest, to lead a newly formed in-house AI research unit at Microsoft.
By recruiting former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman following his surprise ouster by ChatGPT's parent company, Microsoft is hiring a tech industry star at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution.
On one side are those, like Altman, who view the rapid development and, especially, public deployment of AI as essential to stress-testing and perfecting the technology. On the other side are those who say the safest path forward is to fully develop and test AI in a laboratory first to ensure it is, so to speak, safe for human consumption.
