Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Offers Jobs to Departing OpenAI Researchers

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has reached out to researchers who have recently left OpenAI, suggesting they could join his company's own artificial intelligence platform, named 'Einstein'. In a post made from his X account, Benioff invited those who have exited OpenAI to consider working with Salesforce's AI technologies and to send their resumes directly to him via email.

Job Opportunities Amidst OpenAI Management Shift

In the wake of Sam Altman stepping down from OpenAI's management board, which was revealed after an internal review, Benioff sees an opportunity to enrich his team by absorbing talent that might be seeking new avenues. There has been a rift within OpenAI, with some employees expressing willingness to resign unless Altman is reinstated as CEO. The situation arose from the board's lack of confidence in Altman's ability to continue leading OpenAI.

Potential Moves for Sam Altman

Sam Altman, who left the board post at OpenAI, has been rumored in the U.S. media to either be starting a new AI company or possibly returning to OpenAI. Meanwhile, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Altman would join Microsoft to head a new advanced AI research team. This development signaled major shifts in the AI space, further stirring discussions about the future of talent and leadership within the industry.

The upheaval at OpenAI led to a group of employees challenging the current board, with indications of mass resignations or following Altman to his new role at Microsoft, one of OpenAI's largest investors. A signed letter from numerous OpenAI staff mentioned the lack of competence, judgment, and care of certain individuals on the board, which they felt was incompatible with the company's mission and their values.
