Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella caps a decade of tremendous growth via cloud computing and AI

Microsoft’s Answer to OpenAI Inquiry: Doesn’t Own Stake; Link not same as Google and DeepMind

[ad_1]  With global regulators examining Microsoft Corp.'s $13 billion investment in OpenAI, the software giant has a simple argument it hopes will resonate with antitrust officials: It doesn't own a traditional stake in the buzzy startup so can't be said to control it.When Microsoft negotiated an additional $10 billion investment in OpenAI in January, it opted for an unusual arrangement, people familiar with the matter said at the time. Rather than buy a chunk of the cutting-edge artificial intelligence lab, it cut a deal to receive almost half of OpenAI's financial returns until the investment is repaid up to a pre-determined cap, one of the people said. The unorthodox structure was concocted because OpenAI is a capped for-profit company housed inside a non-profit organization. It's n...

Here is what allowed OpenAI to sack Sam Altman

[ad_1] Unlike Google, Facebook and other tech giants, the company behind ChatGPT was not created to be a business. It was set up as a nonprofit by founders who hoped that it wouldn't be beholden to commercial interests.But the arrangement got complicated. While OpenAI later transitioned to a for-profit model, its controlling shareholder remains the nonprofit OpenAI Inc. and its board of directors. This unique structure made it possible for four OpenAI board members — the company's chief scientist, two outside tech entrepreneurs and an academic — to oust CEO Sam Altman on Friday. The abrupt removal of one of the world's most sought-after AI experts led to an employee revolt that has put the entire organization's future in jeopardy and underscored the unusual arrangement that sets OpenAI ...
