Former OpenAI Director to Launch Own Startup

Mira Murati, who resigned from her position as OpenAI’s CTO last autumn, has founded an AI development startup named Thinking Machines Lab.

This company aims to democratise neural networks by improving their accessibility and adaptability for users. According to the company, “Our mission is to create a future where everyone can access the knowledge and tools needed to tailor AI to their individual needs and aspirations.”

Thinking Machines Lab prioritises collaboration, striving to foster a culture of openness and transparency. The startup aims to share its research and development initiatives, emphasising AI designed for cooperation and understanding with humans rather than fully autonomous systems. Their goal is to create tools that enhance and support human activities, rather than completely replacing them. This user-focused strategy has garnered attention from both the public and professionals who advocate for a more inclusive and ethical use of AI.
