From Nasdaq:

Microsoft executive Dee Templeton has joined OpenAI’s board as a non-voting observer as part of a boardroom revamp. In November, CEO Sam Altman was briefly ousted and reinstated after employees threatened to quit. Microsoft now has a non-voting, observer position on OpenAI’s board.

The observer position allows Microsoft to attend board meetings and access confidential information, but does not give them voting rights. Templeton, a 25-year veteran at Microsoft, will be taking this role at OpenAI.

OpenAI agreed to reconstitute its board of directors that dismissed Altman. Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo will be part of the new board, which includes Microsoft as an observer.

No comments were made by OpenAI or Microsoft in response to Reuters’ requests for comment. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.
