OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati, who has been instrumental in the development of ChatGPT and the artificial intelligence image generator Dall-E, said Wednesday she is leaving the company.

"My six-and-a-half years with the OpenAI team have been an extraordinary privilege," Murati said in a note to the OpenAI team, which she posted to X. "There's never an ideal time to step away from a place one cherishes, yet this moment feels right."
