This morning, a blockbuster shake up in the world of artificial intelligence.

今天早上，人工智慧領域發生了一場轟動性的變革。

現在進行式

Just days after he was ousted by the company he co-founded, former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is joining Microsoft and so is another OpenAI co-founder, Greg Brockman.

就在他被他共同創辦的公司解雇幾天之後，前 OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 加入了微軟，同時另一位 OpenAI 的共同創辦人 Greg Brockman 也加入了微軟。

未來簡單式

The two men who helped bring ChatGPT to the world will lead Microsoft's new advanced AI research team.

這兩位幫助將 ChatGPT 帶給世界的人將領導微軟新的先進人工智慧研究團隊。

That's why I got CNN's Vanessa Jurkovich.

所以我請來了 CNN 的 Vanessa Jurkovich。

All right, Vanessa look, there are ongoing negotiations for Altman to return as OpenAI CEO, then he goes to Microsoft.

好的，Vanessa，目前正在進行談判，希望 Altman 重返擔任 OpenAI CEO，然後他就轉投微軟。

I don't think that ChatGPT could have written this drama.

我想ChatGPT可能無法編寫這樣的戲劇。

So the breaking news that we have now is that 500 employees from OpenAI have sent this letter to the board, which ousted Sam Altman,

現在我們掌握的突發新聞是，500 名 OpenAI 的員工給罷免了 Sam Altman 的董事會發送了一封信，

saying that if you do not resign, if you do not bring back Sam Altman, we will quit and we will join Sam Altman at Microsoft.

信中表示，如果董事們不辭職，如果不讓 Sam Altman 回來，他們將辭職，並加入 Sam Altman 在微軟的團隊。

500 employees, that's most of the company.

500 名員工，這站公司大部分了。

But this all goes down on Friday when OpenAI basically pushes Sam Altman out the board, saying that he's not equipped to lead the company right now.

但這一切都發生在星期五，當 OpenAI 基本上將 Sam Altman 踢出董事會，稱他目前無法領導公司。

Behind the scenes, though, what we know is that there's a philosophical difference between Altman wanting to push AI forward and the board who wants to kind of dial the progress of AI back.

然而，在幕後，我們知道 Altman 想要推動人工智慧的發展，而董事會則希望減緩人工智慧的進展，存在著一種哲學上的分歧。

But what we know is that many employees have already followed Altman, including his co-founder Greg Brockman.

但我們知道許多員工已經跟隨 Altman，包括他的共同創辦人 Greg Brockman。

Over the weekend, we saw a photo of Altman at OpenAI's offices, maybe talks of bringing him back again.

在周末，我們看到了 Altman 在 OpenAI 辦公室的照片，也許是關於再次讓他回來的談判。

They have invested $13 billion into OpenAI.

他們已經投資了130億美元到OpenAI。

Just this morning, we're hearing that they have hired Altman to now run artificial intelligence at Microsoft.

就在今天早上我們聽說他們聘請 Altman 來管理微軟的人工智慧。

And just moments ago, we heard from one of the board members who was part of that four person board that fired Altman.

就在片刻之前，我們聽到了當初解雇 Altman 的四人董事會的一位成員發表意見。

And he says he actually regrets the fact that he's created all this chaos at OpenAI.

他表示，他實際上對於自己在OpenAI製造了這麼多混亂感到遺憾。

He's also one of the more than 500 people who has signed this open letter, calling for the board to resign, which means including himself.

他也是超過500人中的一位，簽署了這封公開信，呼籲董事會辭職，這意味著包括他在內。

This all matters because artificial intelligence is here.

這一切都很重要因為人工智智慧經到來。

There are serious conversations about whether or not it's moving too fast.

人們正在進行嚴肅的討論，探討這是否進展得太快。

There are so many businesses that rely on ChatGPT every single day.

有這麼多企業每天都要依賴 GPT。

I just want to read a quick quote from an analyst, Dan Ivers, who puts this perfectly.

我想快速引用分析師丹·艾弗斯的一段話，他表達得很完美。

I think he says, in a nutshell, "The J.V. four-person board at OpenAI was at the kids poker table and they thought they won until Nadella and Microsoft took this all over in a World Series game of poker move for the ages with the Valley and Wall Street watching.

我想他簡而言之表示：「OpenAI的四人董事會是小孩子的撲克桌，他們以為自己贏了，直到納德拉和微軟在世界撲克大賽中採取了一個歷史性的舉動，整個矽谷和華爾街都在注視著。」

This is going to continue to unfold over today, but just so much in 72 hours, changing the game of A.I.

這將在今天繼續發展，但在短短的72小時內，已經改變了人工智慧的局勢。

So much has happened and I'm sure so much more.

確實發生了很多事情，我相信還會有更多發展。

Honestly, I mean, the fallout from the board decision could not be more consequential.

老實說，董事會決定的後果可能再也沒有更重大的了。

Some 500 of the 700 employees threatening to quit the company.

大約有 700 名員工中的 500 名威脅要辭職。

Just explain what's going on here and why this weekend's news was so significant.

請解釋一下發生了什麼，以及為什麼這個周末的新聞如此重要。

It is hard to keep up with what has been one of the most spectacular corporate fallouts.

很難跟上這場最引人矚目的公司瓦解之一。

I think I can remember really in terms of a board firing a CEO very suddenly, seeing the fallout from investors, but also within the company, and this is just the latest.

我想我能記得，從董事會突然解雇 CEO 的角度來看，看到投資者的後果，還有公司內部的變數，這只是最新的例子。

This is a letter to the board of directors of OpenAI.

這是一封給 OpenAI 董事會的信。

As you mentioned, over 500 employees have agreed to this.

正如你提到的，超過 500 名員工已同意這封信。

And when I say it's the letter to the board of directors, Becky, there were six directors as of last week.

當我說這是給 OpenAI 董事會的信時，Becky，截至上週有六名董事。

其中一人被解僱，也就是 Sam Altman。

The other co-founder, Greg Brockman, actually resigned on the basis of this news.

另一位共同創辦人 Greg Brockman 實際上根據這條新聞辭職了。

And a third is actually signing this letter.

第三位董事其實也簽署了這封信。

So it was almost a letter to themselves at this stage, which means there are three directors are being very much targeted by this letter.

所以在這個階段，這封信幾乎是寫給他們自己的，這意味著這封信的目標很大程度上是三位董事。

And I'll just highlight a few bits that we've had in the last hour.

我只是強調一下我們在過去一小時中得到的一些信息。

It says they believe the board is incapable of overseeing OpenAI.

信中表示，他們認為董事會無法監管OpenAI。

They say they may choose to resign and join Microsoft with Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, join that new entity. They be in a show. They have positions.

他們表示，他們可能選擇辭職，並與Sam Altman和Greg Brockman一起加入微軟。他們有職位。

They say they will take the step imminently unless all current board members resign.

他們表示，除非所有現任董事會成員辭職，否則他們將立即採取行動。

And the board appoints two new lead independent directors.

讓董事會任命兩名新的獨立主席。

They mentioned a couple and reinstate Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.

他們提名了一些，並要求恢復 Sam Altman 和 Greg Brockman 的職務。

So that is the most extraordinary laying down of the law from over 500 employees.

這是超過500名員工提出的最非凡的法律聲明。

The CTO and a board member on that as well.

CTO 也是這封信的簽署人之一，還有一名董事會成員也是如此。

So now you have to wonder, is the Microsoft move going to happen or are we going to see a complete rejig again at the top?

現在你不禁要想，微軟的舉措是否會發生，還是我們會再次看到高層的完全重組？

And are we going to see Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, going back to open?

我們會看到Sam Altman、Greg Brockman回到OpenAI嗎？

Just a reminder for those who you know, for those you are in the kind of, you know, in the weeds of AI, they may not know who he is.

提醒一下那些，你知道，那些深陷在人工智慧的人，其他人可能不知道他是誰。

This guy is a very, very, very significant player, not just in business, but in US and global politics these days as well.

這個人不僅在商業上，而且在當今的美國和全球政治中都是非常非常重要的角色。

He's become the biggest voice, really, when we talk about artificial intelligence.

他已經成為我們談論人工智慧時最重要的聲音。

They're all just a handful of companies really running the AI debate I guess, in terms of a few companies that lead the way.

實際上，他們都是為數不多的公司在主導人工智慧辯論，我猜這是指那些在這方面走在前面的公司。

There's Google DeepMind with Demis Hassabis and the Sam Altman with OpenAI.

有 Demis Hassabis 的 Google DeepMind 和 OpenAI 的 Sam Altman。

He's one of the co-founders of the company.

他是該公司的聯合創始人之一。

There are quite a few co-founders there, but he's become very vocal and very eloquent, particularly, as you mentioned, at Senate committee hearings and the political level.

有不少聯合創始人，但他變得非常直言不諱，非常雄辯，特別是，正如你所提到的，在參議院委員會聽證會和政治層面。

You see him on the international stage, and he's very vocal on Twitter.

你可以在國際舞台上看到他，他在推特上也非常直言不諱。

And one of the big questions for all of us, right on Friday was why has he been fired from the board?

其中一個重大問題是對我們所有人來說，他為什麼在週五被董事會解僱？

And there's lots of speculation about this from the company.

There was something about a lack of communication with the board, but no more detail.

與董事會缺乏溝通有一些問題，但沒有更多細節。

Other people wonder whether his popularity had eclipsed the board, and therefore, frankly, they lost control of what some of them wanted to do with the company,

其他人想知道他的受歡迎程度是否讓董事會黯然失色，因此，坦率地說，他們失去了對其中一些人想對公司做什麼的控制，

or whether his part in terms of trying to commercialize the profit part of OpenAI, because it is a nonprofit entity generally, whether they felt that was undermining or risking AI safety.

或者他是否試圖將 OpenAI 的利潤部分商業化，因為它通常是一個非營利實體，他們是否認為這正在破壞或危及人工智慧安全。

Well, he signed up for Microsoft, but as of the last hour, this letter from over 500 employees demanding he goes back to OpenAI.

他加入了微軟，但截至最後一小時，這封來自 500 多名員工的信件要求他回到 OpenAI。

You have to wonder, Becky. Check back next hour.

Becky 你一定想知道。下個小時再來看看。
