OpenAI has lost a lot of top talent over the last months.
The latest example came on Wednesday when Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati said she would leave the company behind ChatGPT.
Shortly afterward, CEO Sam Altman said that two other executives, Bob McGrew and Barret Zoph, would also leave OpenAI.
Altman said in a memo announcing McGrew’s and Zoph’s departures that “leadership changes are a natural part of companies, especially companies that grow so quickly and are so demanding.”
He added: “I obviously won’t pretend it’s natural for this one to be so abrupt, but we are not a normal company.”
Like many companies, OpenAI has seen turnover among its highest ranks since its founding in 2015. Cofounder Elon Musk left the company’s board in 2018, for example.
