After being ousted by OpenAI, France extended an olive branch to Altman and his team
CTOnews.com, November 18, after OpenAI's board of directors ousted CEO Sam Altman without warning, France's ministerial representative in charge of digital affairs, Jean-Noel Barrow (Jean-Noel Barrot), extended an olive branch to Altman.
He announced on the X platform this evening: if Sam Altman and his team and their talents are willing, they are welcome to come to France. We are here to speed up our efforts to make AI serve our common interests.
Macron gave a video address to technology leaders on Friday local time, saying that generative AI has great potential and plans to hold an AI-related conference in Paris next year, Reuters reported.
According to a comprehensive CTOnews.com report earlier today, people familiar with the matter told foreign media "The Information" that three senior OpenAI researchers were influenced by the dismissal of OpenAI's former CEO Sam Altman and the sudden resignation of president Greg Brockmann.
The three senior researchers include Yakubu Pachaochi (Jakub Pachocki), the company's head of research, Aleksander Madry (Aleksander Madry), the team leader who assesses the potential risks of AI, and Szymon Sidor, a researcher who has been working for seven years.
