Mira Murati, Chief Technology Officer at OpenAI, has announced her resignation after over six years. Citing the desire to "explore new opportunities," Murati leaves as OpenAI undergoes major restructuring, moving toward a for-profit model. 

Her exit follows the departure of other key executives like Ilya Sutskever, and it occurs as the company faces rapid growth and concerns about AI risks, such as AI Trism—trust, risk, and security management in AI development. OpenAI is also seeking a $150 billion valuation while navigating safety debates.
