Mira Murati: Sam Altman "Dishonest," Caused OpenAI Chaos

OpenAI's former head of technology, Mira Murati, says CEO Sam Altman was dishonest and caused "chaos." This testimony was shared in Elon Musk's lawsuit against the artificial intelligence giant. Murati alleged that Altman created an environment where executives were pitted against each other, which undermined her ability to do her job. She stated that Altman would say one thing to one person and the opposite to another. When asked if Altman was always candid with her, Murati replied, "Not always." Her issues with Altman were centered on management. Murati briefly served as CEO after Altman's temporary firing in November 2023. She has since left OpenAI and co-founded her own AI startup. She kept in close contact with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during the tumultuous time, calling him a "voice of reason." This testimony reveals high-level discord within a leading AI company, which impacts the future of a rapidly developing technology.
