OpenAI's explosion as one of the companies of the future and soon one of the most valuable in the world, did not come without the furor of individuals. Of course, Sam Altman, the company's CEO, was behind it and was the image, but once in the background, a girl with pale eyes and mysterious expressions attracted attention.
Mira Murati, the charming Vlora native who was once the company's COO and a former executive at Tesla, a product of tycoon Elon Musk, went her own way and resigned after ChatGPT's extraordinary success worldwide. But when others thought her figure would fade, in fact she only grew stronger. Fortune, the prestigious American magazine specializing in business and with offices in New York, understood and Mira Murati was listed among the 100 most powerful women in the world in their annual ranking.
Murat ranked 57th in the world, according to Fortune's ranking.
Just as OpenAI burst onto the scene late last year, so did its chief technology officer, Mira Murati. Until the launch of ChatGPT, the startup’s AI-powered generative chatbot, the technology had been under the radar. Now he’s emerging as one of the key figures shaping the increasingly AI-centric future of business.
This is Fortune's first profile of Murat, who was born and raised in Albania, and her extraordinary success. She is now gone from the company, but Fortune did not gloss over the impact she had, noting that the success was partly her own.
"ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users in just two months and has brought about a complete technological revolution in less than a year, with startups and large companies striving to develop AI-enabled products and strategies."
The company was once worth $30 billion. But today, thanks in part to Murat and the work she has done, OpenAI is worth about $300 billion, according to recent investor estimates. Fortune even wrote about her extraordinary impact on a company with that kind of growth:
“Murat’s influence at OpenAI is extraordinary, as she was tasked with leading its research, product, and security teams. But with that power comes great responsibility: The former Tesla engineer has said she is in favor of more regulation of AI products, but as is often the case with new technologies, development and adoption are moving much faster than policymakers.”
The end of something means the beginning of another stage. That's what happened to Murat. After leaving OpenAI, she created Thinking Machines Lab, a new startup in the field of Artificial Intelligence, which put Murat back on the radar.
Murati had set a necessary investment floor from the beginning. She wanted to reach the figure of 2 billion dollars. And in fact, she almost achieved this. Something like that, as has been announced, would immediately bring the value of the company to over 10 billion dollars. So, somewhere where OpenAi started.
Albania has also become part of the investment, with an investment of 10 million dollars from the state budget, as a new way to develop capital, which the country has not experienced before and is doing for the first time with the company created by Murat.
"We are building a new kind of Artificial Intelligence - one that people can trust, shape and understand. It's not about replacing humans, it's about amplifying what makes us unique ," Murati said in a statement about her new company.
In the business world, in fact, it is known as a magnet for talent and capital. It manages to find the most talented people, bring in immeasurable investments. But also directors like no other.
Above all, it brings ethics to the world of AI.
Unlike many startups in the Artificial Intelligence race, which focus on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), Murat's approach is more pragmatic and ethical.
Thinking Machines Lab is emphasizing safety, usability, and AI that adapts to individual needs and social context. Its public remarks suggest that the company may be exploring tools that combine symbolic reasoning with deep learning, perhaps pursuing a hybrid approach to AI architecture overall.
Something that others have not done, and the big difference with humans is that AI is not human enough to understand the needs and questions that someone may have, more than a manual on how to do things. Redirecting attention to purpose is what Mira Murati is looking for, and with Thinking Machines Lab, it seems to be doing it...and doing it well. / Associated Press
