山姆·奧特曼在 OpenAI 重新獲得了首席執行官頭銜，而薩蒂亞·納德拉則領導 $微軟 (MSFT.US)$ 已在 OpenAI 董事會中獲得無表決權的觀察員職位。
What Happened: On Wednesday, just hours after it was reported that OpenAI might not offer board seats to investors like Microsoft, Khosla Ventures, and Thrive Capital, the ChatGPT parent announced the news of Altman's reinstatement.
發生了什麼：週三，在有報道稱OpenAI可能不向微軟、Khosla Ventures和Thrive Capital等投資者提供董事會席位僅幾小時後，ChatGPT母公司就宣佈了奧特曼復職的消息。
While Microsoft doesn't have any official voting power, its new role in OpenAI's board as a "non-voting observer" will grant the company enhanced visibility into the workings of this AI startup.
儘管微軟沒有任何官方投票權，但它在OpenAI董事會中擔任 “無投票權觀察員” 的新角色將使該公司更好地了解這家人工智能初創公司的運作情況。
In the document shared by OpenAI, Altman expressed excitement for his comeback while applauding employees' perseverance and positivity in times of uncertainty.
在OpenAI分享的文件中，奧特曼對自己的復出表示興奮，同時對員工在不確定時期的毅力和積極態度表示讚賞。
I am returning to OpenAI as CEO. Mira will return to her role as CTO. The new initial board will consist of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo," Altman announced.
我將以首席執行官的身份重返OpenAI。米拉將重返首席技術官的角色。新的初始董事會將由佈雷特·泰勒（主席）、拉里·薩默斯和亞當·德安傑洛組成，” 奧特曼宣佈。
He added, "I have never been more excited about the future."
他補充說：“我對未來從未像現在這樣興奮過。”
The newly reinstated CEO also voiced optimism for a sustained working relationship with Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's co-founder and chief scientist, despite his exit from the board.
這位新上任的首席執行官也對與OpenAI聯合創始人兼首席科學家伊利亞·薩茨克弗的持續工作關係表示樂觀，儘管他已退出董事會。
I love and respect Ilya, I think he's a guiding light of the field and a gem of a human being. I harbor zero ill will towards him. While Ilya will no longer serve on the board, we hope to continue our working relationship and are discussing how he can continue his work at OpenAI," he said.
我愛並尊重 Ilya，我認爲他是該領域的指路明燈，也是人類的瑰寶。我對他的惡意爲零。儘管伊利亞將不再在董事會任職，但我們希望繼續我們的工作關係，並正在討論他如何繼續在OpenAI工作，” 他說。
Why It Matters: This whole drama started on Nov. 17, when Altman unexpectedly departed from the position of OpenAI CEO. At the time, it was reported that the board was concerned about Altman's transparency in communications with them.
爲什麼重要：整部戲始於11月17日，當時奧特曼出人意料地離開了OpenAI首席執行官的職位。當時，據報道，董事會對奧特曼與他們溝通的透明度感到擔憂。
After that, OpenAI president Greg Brockman revealed that he was removed from his position.

Meanwhile, given that Microsoft also has a board seat, it signifies a notable milestone in the company's investment journey into OpenAI, where it holds a 49% stake.
同時，鑑於微軟也有董事會席位，這標誌着該公司在OpenAI投資旅程中的一個重要里程碑，該公司持有OpenAI49％的股份。
Earlier, Microsoft had no access to the board's activities, leading to shock when Altman was suddenly dismissed.
此前，微軟無法訪問董事會的活動，當奧特曼突然被解僱時，這讓人感到震驚。
