Top OpenAI executive Mira Murati leaves company
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on X that he was grateful for Murati’s service to the company. “It’s hard to overstate how much Mira has meant to OpenAI, our mission, and to us all personally,” Altman said.
Murati’s unexpected departure leaves OpenAI without one of its longest-serving and best-known executives. It comes after OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever left the company in May and started his own AI firm. Another co-founder and key executive, Greg Brockman, is on a leave of absence. Several OpenAI researchers have left the company over the last year, with some alleging the company hadn’t taken its own commitments to AI safety seriously enough.
OpenAI is raising new funding that would value the company at over $100 billion, according to a person familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private information.
Murati joined OpenAI in 2018, rising at the company to become its chief technology officer. She was named as interim CEO after the company’s board ousted Altman in November 2023 but in the firestorm that followed his departure supported his return as chief executive.
Over the last year, Murati’s profile as a spokesperson for the company continued to grow, serving as a key executive giving interviews to the media and appearing in the company’s public demonstrations of its new products.
A spokesman for OpenAI declined to comment beyond Altman’s statement on X.
