Mira Murati is the latest OpenAI executive to leave the AI ​​company

OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati is leaving the company – the latest in a series of high-profile departures at the leading AI company.

After six and a half years with the company, during which she served as interim CEO following the temporary firing of Sam Altman, Murati told employees in a message Wednesday that she had “made the difficult decision to leave.”

Read her full memo to staff, which she shared online, below:

Originally from Albania, Murati joined OpenAI in 2018 after working at Tesla, where she oversaw the teams that developed two of the AI ​​giant's most important products: ChatGPT and the image generator Dall-E.

In addition to leading these large teams, Murati has also been a key public figure for OpenAI, appearing in the company's videos and being available for interviews with journalists.

When Altman was abruptly removed from the company's board in 2023, Murati played a key role, according to the New York Times, having raised concerns about his leadership style to the board and directly to Altman.

At the time, Murati's lawyer fought back, saying she had not approached the board to request Altman's dismissal and was surprised by its decision.

The Times also reported that OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, who left the company in May, raised similar concerns.
