Ermira "Mira" Murati (born 16 December 1988) is an Albanian engineer, researcher, and tech executive, who has been the Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI since 2018.[1][2][3][4][5]

Early life and education[edit]

Murati was born on 16 December 1988[6] in Vlorë, Albania.[7] Throughout her school years, she participated in many Olympiads and math competitions.[8]

At age 16, she won a scholarship and went to high school at the Pearson United World College of the Pacific on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where she graduated in 2005.[9][10] For her undergraduate education, she attended Colby College and Dartmouth College (Thayer School of Engineering), where she studied mechanical engineering.[11][12][13][14][15]

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Murati briefly worked for Zodiac Aerospace before joining electric car company Tesla in 2013, where she was a Product Manager on the Model X. From 2016 until joining OpenAI in 2018, she worked for augmented reality start-up Leap Motion (now Ultraleap).[16][17][18][19]

OpenAI[edit]

Murati joined OpenAI in 2018 as a researcher, and became its chief technology officer, leading its work on ChatGPT, Dall-E, Codex and Sora,[16][20][21] while overseeing its research, product and safety teams.[22] She oversees the technical advancements and direction of OpenAI's various projects, including the development of advanced AI models and tools. Her work has been instrumental in the development and deployment of some of OpenAI's most notable products, such as the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) series of language models. Her work includes pushing the boundaries of machine learning while advocating for the responsible and ethical use of AI technologies.[23]

On 17 November 2023, Murati briefly took over as interim chief executive officer of OpenAI following the abrupt removal of Sam Altman.[24][25][14][26] She was replaced by Emmett Shear three days later, who was in turn replaced when Altman was reinstated five days after being ousted (after which Murati returned to her role as CTO).[27][28][29]

Writing about Murati for Time's 2023 100 Next list of rising leaders across industries, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said, "She has a demonstrated ability to assemble teams with technical expertise, commercial acumen, and a deep appreciation for the importance of mission ... Mira has helped build some of the most exciting AI technologies we’ve ever seen, including ChatGPT, DALL-E, and GPT-4."[30]
