Mira Murati, OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer and a driving force behind its AI breakthroughs, has announced her resignation after over six years with the company.
Her exit comes just as OpenAI finalizes a massive $6.5 billion funding round, raising questions about its leadership stability. In her post on X (formerly Twitter), Murati expressed her desire for personal exploration. This follows the recent departures of senior leaders, Barret Zoph and Bob McGrew, adding to the growing wave of high-profile exits from the AI giant.
