Currently, Microsoft is considering a role on its board of directors amid the possible return of former CEO Sam Altman to ChatGPT developer OpenAI. Microsoft may serve as a board member or observer, with the latter having no voting rights. The move is part of an effort by OpenAI's key backers and senior leaders to rehire Altman.
