OpenAI如今已是全球最具价值的私营公司，但在2019年微软最初向这家初创企业投资10亿美元时，这 远非一笔稳操胜券的交易。 微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）在接受专注于科技的YouTube频道TBPN采访时回忆 道，他甚至遭到了公司联合创始人兼首任首席执行官比尔·盖茨的反对。 "要记得当时它还是一个非营利组织，我想比尔[盖茨]甚至说过，'是啊，这10亿美元注定要打水 漂'，"纳德拉说。 然而，纳德拉和微软团队并未被反对意见动摇。尽管纳德拉指出，由于投资规模巨大，他需要走正规流 程并获得董事会批准，但他表示，尽管存在风险，"说服大家认同这是一个重要领域并不那么困难。" "我们当时算是有点高风险承受能力，我们说，'我们想去试一试'，"他补充道。 2019年，微软将与OpenAI的合作和投资部分视为在AI领域立足并帮助推广Azure人工智能能力的一种方 式。然而，纳德拉表示，没人能预料到这笔初始投资所奠定的基础，最终促使微软向OpenAI投入了130 亿美元。 "回想起来，谁能想到呢？我投入10亿美元时，可没说过'哦，这会有百倍回报'这样的话，"他说。 微软发言人拒绝置评。 图片来源： ...
