From Albania to the top of the world

Few women have as much power in the business world — and even more so in the male-dominated world of technology — as women do. Mira Moratti. The 34-year-old is among the heroes of the “earthquake” she experienced. OpenAI, a company that no one knew anything about a year ago, but today it has the whole planet talking about it. As CTO of OpenAI, Moratti oversaw the team that developed… ChatGPTthe most successful application in history, as well as the Dall-E image generator.

Her name was the first to be put on the table when the search was made for a successor to the CEO Sam AltmanThis came after his violent expulsion from the company three weeks ago.

All this led them Financial Times To give her a place on our list of the year’s most influential women, alongside Beyoncé, Margot Robbie, GM CEO Mary Barra, and panel chair Ursula von der Leyen. Moratti was one of the four people who founded OpenAI, although she has yet to be named interim CEO Altman’s dismissalShe supported her friend: she co-signed a letter from company employees demanding Altman’s return. Faced with the threat of nearly all employees leaving, OpenAI’s board brought Altman back.

Moratti was born in Albania and studied mechanical engineering at Dartmouth College. Before OpenAI she was an analyst at Goldman Sachsengineer at the French aviation company Space zodiacProduct Manager at TeslaWhere she was responsible for Model Motion jumpa virtual reality company, according to El Pais newspaper.

In 2018, she turned to OpenAI because her knowledge of artificial intelligence led her to believe that “general artificial intelligence,” that is, artificial intelligence that will reach the level of human intelligence, is not far from becoming a reality. As she said in an interview with Wired, she wanted to be part of this development and thought the best place for that was OpenAI.

In addition to being responsible for the developer team, Moratti plays another important role in the development of ChatGPT: she ensures that the chatbot is unbiased and does not mislead users, an issue that the app seems to have made progress on in its second version.
