Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI for a big AI push has been revealed by CEO Satya Nadella. In a recent podcast, Nadella explained, "I met folks at OpenAI – Sam (Altman) and Greg (Brockman) – [and of the things they had] was that they have a different approach to things and we wanted to partner."
