Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati Recruits Co-Founder John Schulman for New AI Ventu

Mira Murati, who resigned as OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer in September 2024, has reportedly enlisted John Schulman, a co-founder of OpenAI, to join her in a new, undisclosed artificial intelligence project. Schulman recently departed from Anthropic, another AI-focused company.

Murati’s departure from OpenAI was part of a series of high-profile exits, including those of Bob McGrew and Barret Zoph, which highlighted internal tensions and differing strategic visions within the organization.

The collaboration between Murati and Schulman brings together two influential figures in the AI community, both of whom have played significant roles in advancing artificial intelligence research and development.

While specific details about their new venture remain confidential, the partnership is anticipated to have a notable impact on the AI industry, given their combined expertise and leadership.
