SUKINET CGI – 086 – Microsoft offers to match pay of all OpenAI staff

Microsoft has offered to match the pay of any staff who join it from crisis-ridden OpenAI.

Sam Altman was controversially sacked as CEO on Friday, leading to a job offer at Microsoft to lead “a new advanced AI research team”.

Almost every staff member at OpenAI has threatened to leave unless he and co-founder Greg Brockman are reinstated.

It is still unclear whether Mr Altman will ultimately join Microsoft, which is OpenAI’s biggest investor by far.https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67484455
