The OpenAI Board of Directors ousted founder Sam Altman on November 17shocking the tech world, while naming Mira Murati as its interim CEO.
Since then, the board has faced strong criticism of the startup's main clients and investors. According to a Bloomberg report, efforts to reinstate Altman as CEO have already involved Microsoft, OpenAI's largest shareholder.
Meanwhile, Murati is the interim CEO. He has been with OpenAI since 2018. At that time, the company operated as a non-profit research center, but soon transformed into the business behind the global chatbot ChatGPT.
Prior to OpenAI, Murati reportedly spent a summer as an analyst at Goldman Sachs, followed by engineering roles at Zodiac Aerospace and Tesla, such as described in a Women's Agenda bio based on her LinkedIn profile (unfortunately no longer available).
Murati was reportedly named vice president of products and engineering at Ultraleap in 2016. At OpenAI, she joined as vice president of applied AI and partnerships, before moving up to senior vice president of research, products and partnerships and eventually to her role as chief technology officer in 2022.
The interim CEO was born in Albania and graduated from Dartmouth College, an Ivy League institution, in 2012. According According to The Wall Street Journal, Murati is a “product person” who believes AI should not be limited to research projects.
"It's important that we bring in different voices, like philosophers, social scientists, artists and people from the humanities," he said. said in an interview with TIME magazine earlier this year. Regulators should be included in this group of “different voices,” according to Murati:
"It is important for OpenAI and companies like ours to bring this to the public consciousness in a controlled and responsible way. But we are a small group of people and we need a lot more information in this system and a lot more information that goes beyond the technologies , definitely regulators, governments and everyone else."
He is behind the development and management of some of OpenAI's most innovative projects, including the DALL-3 imaging model, the Whisper speech recognition tool, and the latest version of the company's GPT-4 chatbot.
