openai and its board are in open talks with sam altman about a return for sam altman to openai.atest is adam d'angelo is talking with sam altman. one source tells me that a possible scenario is that a transition board comes into place, and sam altman takes a director role on the transition board. that is one, caroline, possible way forward we are hearing about. investors are involved, investors are speaking with the openai site and the openai board, and what we are hearing, myself, emily chang reporting this as well, is emmett shear, interim openai ceo, is having a tough time, is basically in the dark come at a breaking point at this point. caroline: and it's notable that very early investor in openai had been saying how much the former ceo had been digging in and ultimately whether or not that was going to be a difficult scenario to be able to have a board change of direction. ultimately what are you hearing in terms of being pushed of the makeup of the board? many would say doesn't just need sam altman to be reinstated. ed: the name brett taylor, co-ceo of salesforce, keeps co

what about sam shiner sam shiner was jewish parallel to cecil newman and in fact sam, shiner and cecil newman worked together a lot on on issues of racism anti-semitism. so sam shiner was a jazz pianist who had gone to law school in minneapolis. and none of the proper law firms would hire him because he was jewish. so for a while. he was basically supporting himself, his family, playing jazz, piano and ultimately because of the anti-semitism was so fierce and so entrenched in minneapolis that when the neo-nazi or the not neo-nazi, the pro nazi group in the 1930s, the silver shirts began to hold big public meetings in that a lot of the establishment go to. this wasn't just the riff raff the president of the board of ed would go the head of the business association would go the head of the real estate board would go, and the jewish community got alarmed enough that they decided they needed to someone to be kind of one man anti lee and that was sam and so sam scheiner like cecil neuman had this lonely, almost solitary battle against anti-semitism in and he would try every thing he would g

here's sam. announcement about what it's going to spend its money on and how much tax we will all pay. today's announcement is like a mini version, but it doesn't mean it's not still important. here are three important bits — you'll be paying less national insurance tax from the 6th of january, the legal minimum wage will go up byjust over £1 to £11.44 per hour and the new rate will apply to those over the age of 21. some other stories. israel have reached a deal with hamas, the group that controls gaza, who the uk government have labelled terrorists. hamas will let 50 hostages go in a four—day pause in fighting, in exchange for 150 palestinian women and children who will be freed from israeli jails. openai, the company behind chatgpt, have had a chaotic few days. the co—founder sam altman will return as boss days after he was fired by the board. staff were threatening to quit unless he was brought back. and four members of the k—pop band bts have enlisted in the south korean army, meaning they'l

aside from the fact, what unfairly impugn sam's reputation to leave everyone say what did sam do, didyou pick up the phone and say what is going on, what happened? >> i think the board made this decision in isolation and as i am told, none of them were willing to explain what the reason was, what did he not be candid on and that is an excuse for something they made a huge mistake on and were trying to cover up. i am glad the back pressure worked very well. liz: there was pressure from the employee base almost immediately, they threaten to quit unless sam was invited back. you might have seen this already but i would like to show you a tweet. time stamped 244 a.m. eastern, around 11:4:04 pm, pacific, from open ai president greg rockman who resigned after sam was pushed out and has been reinstated now, shows a group of employees with the caption we are so back. how much did the threat exodus of employees player? play? >> i'm sure it played a large role and they underestimated the part of employees, it is ridiculous for border 2 or 3 people to go against 95% of employees, more valuable a

do they lose money if sam does not join the company?their primary goal was to get sam back at openai. they were kind of ok either way. obviously, openai has done some fantastic things with chat gpt. microsoft has an incredibly strong offering as well. there would be no impact no matter what happened with open i i to their current roadmap -- openai to their current roadmap. they have a lot of the ip is there's. they felt fairly covered matter what the outcome. i think this is probably the best outcome in terms of stability. there is always a difficult relationship between microsoft and openai, that will continue. i think this episode was going to come in some shape or form at some point. it's probably come earlier than we expected but i think ultimately, it just kind of cuts through what was that complex relationship into something a lot cleaner going forward, which will help that ipo story in the future and i think helps microsoft's take on as well. kriti: at the same time, bloomberg reporting that microsoft is like you to have an opena

we are committed to sam and greg and the team no matter where they are. sonali: we are joined by mandeep singh. when we think about sam altman's place and microsoft, help us make sense about what it means for him to be working at one company or the other. mandeep: there are talks of bringing him back to open ai. it will not be the same. clearly, there was lack of communication between him and the board members. the good thing for him is the employees have voted in his leadership and that is where it kind of helped the negotiation. i cannot imagine openai having the same kind of leverage they had in terms of the ecosystem laying the foundational model for chatgpt. sonali: what is microsoft with sam altman and what is microsoft without him? mandeep: for microsoft, they will definitely have a bigger say in openai going forward. clearly, from that perspective, they have more influence. i don't think it helps them bringing all the employees over to work for microsoft because microsoft is a behemoth. they have so many businesses. they just bought activision. i

sam, thank you for joining us- sam — in from cairo. sam, thank you for joining us.rom world central kitchen in cairo. as we have been reporting this morning, us secretary of state antony blinken is making his second visit to israel since those hamas attacks on the 7th of october. israel began its retaliatory offensive in gaza. his trip will focus on measures to minimise harm to civilians in the gaza strip. ahead of his departure, blinken said he would seek "concrete measures" from israel to ensure that harm to palestinian civilians is reduced, as us presidentjoe biden also called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict. blinken will also hold talks injordan. joining me now is dr azriel bermant who's a senior researcher at the institute of international relations prague. he joins us from jerusalem. welcome to bbc news, and thank you so much for your time this morning. there are a lot of different things on the agenda for benjamin netanyahu and antony blinken to talk about today. what do you think the most pressing issues will be? this today. what do you think the mos

sam altman. altman was the ceo of openai, the high flying startup that makes the chat bot chatgpt friday, just one day after he spoke at the apex ceo summit, the board of openai fired him, saying they could no longer trust him. this set off a series of succession style chess moves. if you watch that show all weekend long, including attempts to reinstate him as ceo. and this morning, another shocking development. microsoft already a major investor in openai, announced. sam altman is coming to microsoft to lead a new advanced ai subsidiary, joining us live now to make sense of all of that, dean glickstein, a partner at haynes boone. that is a new york based law firm which specializes in artificial intelligence. dina thanks for your time. >> thank you, kristen. we're actually at dallas based law firm with the new york office and also san francisco office. but thank you for having me. >> i appreciate that explanation. now i'm going to ask you actually a trickier one. and that is to explain why the fa

can sam have that potential? >> reporter: well, sam's influence on silicon valley is tremendous. remember, before this he ran why com bynator, which is the incubator for so many silicon valley companies, airbnb is a good example of one that went through y com bynator. so he is one of the most important people in silicon valley, and you and i both know how important openai is because of chatgpt and how often it gets in the news. >> so you mentioned the term clown car here. i haven't heard anything positive about this board from the outside looking in. is this a complete 100% fumble? >> reporter: it is, absolutely. they've essentially shattered the company. either everyone in the company is going to go over to microsoft, or that whole board is going to have to resign because that's what the letter that they got sent from 700-some employees said. resign and return sam, or we're all leaving over to microsoft. >> and we've heard microsoft obviously saying, come to us with open arms. marc benioff tweeting out, come to salesforce with open arms. dids you that letter from the employees h

secondly microsoft would rather sam altman stay with openai rather than microsoft. open ai needs to stay ahead. it moves with that startup kind of mentality and speed one of the things we've seen in the past is when startups or startups get gobbled up by these huge tech companies, at times the innovation of the pace might slow the abilitying to move quickly might deteriorate. by keeping sam altman in a, woing structure with open ai, with trying to stay ahead of a number of investors, thropic, google, amazon, this is a good move. >> many employees said they would make the move to microsoft and there could have been legal problems with that let's get a check with josh on his take great to see you thanks for joining us from miami. what was your view when you saw the headlines this morning, a few hours ago, this deal coming together what do you think the latest changes mean for the future of aiing with sam altman back at the helm. >> i think it's interesting. it started out as a nonprofit and through its evolution became a cap for profit company then you had sam altman

sumi: why would the board say that we don't trust sam? there something that happened that would have triggered this? >> they have not detailed their reasons. i'm told it was not one specific incident. it was not some egregious act. nor was at that the ai had suddenly become so powerful, that they needed to pull the plug. but rather they feel the mission of what they are doing is so important, they have to fully trust that the ceo is being candid, and they did not feel that. that is what their initial statement said. a lot people assume wow, if they are using that language, it must be really bad. in general, when ceos are pushed out, they are still nice to them and it says that they want to pursue other interests. and that was not the case here. sumi: if you look at sam altman, he has become a huge figure when it comes to artificial intelligence. what do you think we will see him do? i know it is speculating, but do you think we could see him go back to openai? >> i think it is one of the distinct possibilities. there is possibility he and

so sam gets to and sam gets to kabul. and in the midst of that, there are the scenes that you saw on television. tens of thousands of people who remember when the taliban was in power in afghanistan, rushing to the airport saying, i have to leave, i have to get my family out. many of them had helped with the american military presence they were they served as translator, they served as interpret. they some fought in the military in the afghan military with the americans. and they feared death or some kind of terrible retaliation and. these are people who remember the taliban. this was in their lifetime. they remember the repression of women and girls they remember men being beaten in the streets, not having their beards long enough. and they knew how angry after 20 years of war these people were when they finally regained a authority in kabul. and so you saw those scenes. you saw men falling from the the horrible scenes, the men falling from the wings of airplanes. you saw handing babies through barbed wire to american so
