With the surprising move of firing CEO Sam Altman, Mira Murati has been appointed interim CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI. While the exact reasons from Sam’s side are yet to be revealed, OpenAI has concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.

Along with Sam, Greg Brockman, the co-founder of OpenAI, has also resigned from the company. The whole situation is extremely tricky, and the new person in charge- Mira Murati will have to work extremely sensibly to continue the growth of OpenAI in the absence of Sam and Greg. Let’s have a look at the professional background of Mira to understand why she is the best choice in the current scenario.
