Mira Murati, OpenAI’s technology chief, becomes the latest exec to leave the company
Published On Sep 25, 2024, 4:48 PM
Mira Murati, the Chief Technology Officer at OpenAI, has announced her departure from the company after six and a half years. Her exit follows a series of leadership changes at OpenAI as the company seeks to evolve from a non-profit to a more profit-driven model. Murati has played a key role in the development of major AI projects like ChatGPT and Dall-E and briefly served as interim CEO during a prior leadership crisis. OpenAI is reportedly in the process of securing additional funding, potentially valuing the company at $150 billion.

The recent executive departures at OpenAI, including Murati's, could cause uncertainty for investors regarding the company's direction and strategic execution. Concerns about management stability might weigh on OpenAI's valuation in the near term, especially with ongoing efforts to shift towards a profit-oriented model. Potential competition from other firms, particularly those hiring former OpenAI leadership, is also a risk. Overall, this could negatively impact investor sentiment toward OpenAI and related tech firms for now.
