Mira Murati (Artificial Intelligence) at OpenAI — San Francisco, United States

Mira Murati served as OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer and briefly as interim CEO during the dramatic board crisis of November 2023 that saw Sam Altman temporarily removed and reinstated. An Albanian-American engineer who previously worked at Leap Motion, Goldman Sachs, and Tesla, Murati led OpenAI's product and safety teams through the releases of ChatGPT, GPT-4, DALL-E 3, and Sora. She departed OpenAI in late 2024 to found her own AI company, Thinking Machines Lab.
