Open AI in talks with Altman.

After the shock dismissal of Sam Altman, OpenAI directors are reportedly in talks for a possible reinstatement.

Discussions are taking place between the former CEO and at least one board member, according to reports citing people familiar with the matter.

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

Microsoft, the biggest investor in OpenAI, has since offered him a job.

According to reports by Bloomberg and the Financial Times, the artificial intelligence company is exploring various options, including bringing Mr Altman back in his former position or as a board director.

It is still unclear whether Mr Altman will join Microsoft which has also offered to match the pay of any staff who join it from OpenAI.
