Microsoft hires ex-OpenAI leaders Altman and Brockman to lead new AI group

By Shakir Bukhari

 

Microsoft has hired Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, the former CEO and president of OpenAI, to lead a new "cutting-edge AI research team" at the company. The move comes after Altman and Brockman were abruptly fired from OpenAI last week.



Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced the hiring on Monday, saying that Altman and Brockman will be joined by "colleagues" from OpenAI. Nadella said that Microsoft is "looking forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success."



The hiring of Altman and Brockman is a major coup for Microsoft, as it gives the company access to two of the leading figures in the field of AI. Altman and Brockman are co-founders of OpenAI, which has been at the forefront of research in AI safety and ethics.



The move is also a sign of Microsoft's continued commitment to AI, which is one of the company's key priorities. Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in AI research and development in recent years, and it is now one of the leaders in the field.



The hiring of Altman and Brockman is likely to have a significant impact on the development of AI, as they are both highly respected figures in the field. It is also likely to increase competition between Microsoft and other tech giants such as Google and Amazon, which are also investing heavily in AI.



Overall, the hiring of Altman and Brockman is a major development in the field of AI, and it is likely to have a significant impact on the future of the technology.

    Overall, Altman's firing is a major setback for OpenAI, but it could also be an opportunity for the company to start fresh. Microsoft is now a major player in the AI race, and it will be interesting to see how the company's acquisition of OpenAI's talent plays out.

ChatGPT’s New Unified View: Voice, Live Transcripts & Maps — Speak, See, and Scan in One Chat

  OpenAI has reshaped how we talk to AI: ChatGPT now blends voice, live transcripts, and visual outputs (like maps and images) directly inside the regular chat window. That means you can speak naturally, watch a running transcript appear, and see interactive visuals, all inside the same conversation thread. This update cuts friction, boosts accessibility, and moves ChatGPT closer to a true multimodal assistant. Why this matters This change removes the old “voice-only” silo where audio lived on a separate screen. Now, voice input and audio responses live alongside the chat history and any visuals the model produces, so follow-ups, maps, and previous context are always visible while you talk. For practical tasks (directions, travel planning, hands-free research), that continuity is a big usability win. Compatibility & availability Platforms: The integrated voice experience is rolling out across mobile (iOS and Android) and the web. Rollout timing: The update began rolling out in ...
