Microsoft has resigned from its observer seat on OpenAI’s board
The decision was made as OpenAI has improved its governance since last year’s boardroom scandal
The big picture: The move comes amid increasing scrutiny from antitrust regulators regarding the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI
- European Union, U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and Britain’s competition watchdog will scrutinize the partnership further
- Microsoft’s departure means OpenAI will no longer have observer seats on its board
- OpenAI will engage more with its key strategic partners and investors going forward.
