Mira Murati Quit OpenAI. She’s as Optimistic as Ever About AGI
Former OpenAI executive Mira Murati says it could take decades, but AI systems eventually will perform a wide range of cognitive tasks as well as humans do—a prospective technological milestone widely known as artificial general intelligence, or AGI. “Right now, it feels quite achievable,” Murati said at WIRED’s The Big Interview event in San Francisco on Tuesday. In her first interview since resigning as OpenAI’s chief technology officer in September, Murati told WIRED’s Steven Levy that she’s not overly concerned about recent chatter in the AI industry that developing more powerful generative AI models is proving challenging. I’m quite optimistic that the progress will continue.” The remarks reflect her enduring interest in trying to find a way to bring increasingly capable AI systems into the world despite splitting from OpenAI. “It comes with both sides.” It’s up to society, Murati said, to collectively keep steering the models toward good—so we’re well prepared for the day AGI comes.
