Mira Murati Appointed Interim CEO of OpenAI
OpenAI has appointed Mira Murati, the CTO, as the interim CEO following the departure of Sam Altman. The company is currently in the process of searching for a permanent successor.
Altman’s departure came after a review process by the board, which found that he was not consistently transparent in his communications with the board. This lack of candor hindered the board’s ability to fulfill its responsibilities. OpenAI released a statement indicating that the board no longer had confidence in his ability to lead the company.
“OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission. We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company’s research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period,” the statement reads.
