OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer Meera Murati resigned. After this, two other senior persons of the company, Bob McGrew (Chief Research Officer) and Barrett Zoff (Vice President of Research) were also fired. After all this, OpenAI is surrounded by controversies. Actually, it is believed that OpenAI is thinking of reorganizing itself as a public benefit corporation.
Whenever the name of Artificial Intelligence comes, OpenAI is mentioned. OpenAI is a kind of non-profit entity. Now two high-level executives of the company have resigned. After this resignation, the company is surrounded by controversies. Actually, the company has indicated that it will become a profit-making company. Controversy has arisen after this indication.
OpenAI was established in the year 2015 as a non-profit organization. In the year 2019, the company started a profit-based subsidiary. In this, outside investment was also allowed along with service. In this, both investors and employees got returns up to a certain limit.
The controversy of OpenAI started when software maker Microsoft invested. This investment indicated the company's profit. According to media reports, the company is considering reorganizing into a public benefit corporation. There is speculation on the company's idea that the company will take this decision to address financial challenges. It is believed that OpenAI's expenses have increased a lot, due to which the company may suffer a loss of up to $ 5 billion in the current financial year.
This commitment to safe AI development will likely be jeopardized in reorganizing as a public benefit corporation. That is, the company would aggressively pursue deploying AI systems in the interests of profits. In fact, OpenAI was originally founded with the objective of ethically advancing AI technologies.
The resignation of the high-profile executives has also brought OpenAI into controversy. Recently, the company's Chief Technology Officer Meera Murati has resigned. After the resignation of Meera Murati, two other senior persons-one Bob McGrew, performing his job as a Chief Research Officer, and Barrett Zoff, working as a Vice President of Research-left the company.
Meera Murati played an important role in the launch of the GPT-4 model released by OpenAI. While resigning, Meera Murati said that the other co-founders and senior researchers who left the company last year have also taken the same path. Actually, OpenAI is moving towards a profit-making business model. In such a situation, employees are leaving the company.
