Apple was expected to take an observer role on OpenAI's board but decided not to do so, according to a media report. The startup's new approach will prevent Apple from appointing an executive to a similar role. On a similar note, Microsoft has announced its departure from the board of OpenAI, stating that its role is no longer necessary due to the improvements in governance made by the ChatGPT maker following last year's boardroom chaos.
