The AI industry is closely watching as Mira Murati, a former OpenAI executive, launches a new venture and prepares to compete with her former company.
Murati, 36, previously served as OpenAI's chief technology officer. She is now leading a rival AI startup with the aim of making the technology more accessible to a wider audience. On 18th February, she unveiled her new company, Thinking Machines Lab—a research and product-focused firm dedicated to developing AI systems that are more widely understood, customisable, and generally more capable.
