San Francisco San Francisco: In a significant development at Sam Altman-run OpenAI, three top executives, including chief technology officer Mira Muratti, have left the ChatGPIT developer. According to Altman, they decided to leave independently of each other and amicably. Of the 13 people who helped found OpenAI in 2015, only three remain at the company. “But the timing of Mira's decision was such that it made sense to do it all together now, so that we can work together to smoothly hand over leadership to the next generation,” he posted on the X social media platform.
“Mira has been instrumental in driving OpenAI's growth and development over the last 6.5 years; she has been instrumental in growing it from an unknown research lab to a significant company,” said the CEO of OpenAI. “It's never an ideal time to walk away from a place you cherish, yet this moment feels right. My six and a half years with the OpenAI team has been an extraordinary privilege,” he said. Altman said Matt Knight, previously head of security, will now be OpenAI's chief information security officer. Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil and Vice President of Engineering Srinivas Narayanan will continue to lead OpenAI's applied team. Josh Achiam will be the chief scientist at the AI company.
Altman announced, “Achiam will be taking on a new role as Head of Mission Alignment, working across the company to ensure we put all the pieces (and culture) in place to succeed on mission. Kevin and Srinivas will continue to lead the Applied team.” “Mark, Jacob, Kevin, Srinivas, Matt and Josh will report to me. I've spent most of my time over the past year on non-technical parts of our organization; now I'm going to spend most of my time on technical and product parts of the company. Curious,” he said. According to Altman, leadership change is a natural part of companies, especially companies that grow very quickly and have a lot of demands.
