Born in Albania, former chief technology officer is charged with calming the waters after ouster of Sam Altman
The company’s interim C.E.O. has been managing the development and distribution of ChatGPT and DALL-E for years.
OpenAI, the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, fired its CEO and founder, Sam Altman, on Friday. His stunning departure sent shockwaves through the budding AI industry.
In a surprising move, OpenAI today abruptly fired Sam Altman, its CEO and a member of its board of directors, and installed CTO Mira Murati as interim CEO. Murati, who has a degree in mechanical engineering from Dartmouth College, previously worked as an intern at Goldman Sachs and then at Zodiac Aerospace, the French aerospace group.
Although she has carried the title of chief technology officer since last year, current and former employees said Murati had been functioning as the company's head of operations. She made sure that its engineers developed versions of ChatGPT on schedule.
