OpenAI, a company that took the world by storm with its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, now appears to have landed itself in troubled waters. The company fired its ex-CEO and face of the AI revolution, Sam Altman, who joined Microsoft on Monday.

Altman’s new role was announced Monday by Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella, after failed talks between the board of OpenAI and its ex-CEO. Altman will now be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. 
 
Meanwhile,&nbsp;OpenAI announced Emmett Shear as its new interim CEO&nbsp;in one of the most dramatic twists from Silicon Valley’s boardrooms.

<h2>Emmett Shear: Ex-CEO, cofounder of Twitch hired as OpenAI’s new interim CEO. Who is he?</h2>

Shear grew up in Seattle and met Justin Kan at the age of 8, who later became his co-founder for Justin.tv and Twitch. Shear received a Bachelor of Science with a major in computer science in 2005 from Yale University.&nbsp;

He then joined Y Combinator in 2005, where he built a calendar application called Kilo, and later became a part-time partner at the start-up accelerator in June 2011. During his stint at Y Combinator, he offered advice to the new start-ups in each batch.&nbsp;

In June 2011, when Justin.tv decided to spin off the gaming content under a separate brand and site, Shear became the CEO of the new company- Twitch.&nbsp;

Shear is also linked to the effective altruism movement, as per a Bloomberg report. The movement is sceptical about the risks posed by AI and people part of the movement have imaged various scenarios in which AI could be used to cause serious and widespread harm.&nbsp;

Speaking about the possibility of a hyper-intelligent AI getting out of human control, Shear said (as quoted by the Wall Street Journal), “It’s like a universe destroying bomb…It’s bad in a way that makes global warming not a problem."

Who is Emmett Shear? New interim CEO of OpenAI who once called AI a 'universe-destroying bomb'

Mira Murati was briefly&nbsp;appointed as the interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of OpenAI soon after its co-founder Sam Altman was ousted from the company behind Artificial Intelligence-powered chatbot ChatGPT.

Murati was working as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at OpenAI but after Sam Altman was fired from his position as CEO on November 18, she&nbsp;was appointed as the interim CEO.&nbsp;

Murati was born in San Francisco in 1988, and was raised in America.

Previously, she held the position of senior product manager at Tesla, after having received her Bachelor of Engineering degree from The Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth.

Mira also served as OpenAI's SVP of Research, Product, and Partnerships.

Earlier, in an interview with Time magazine, she expressed her concerns over the misuse of Artificial Intelligence.&nbsp;"AI can be misused, or it can be used by bad actors. So, then there are questions about how you govern the use of this technology globally. How do you govern the use of AI in a way that’s aligned with human values?," Mira Murati told the magazine.&nbsp;

She also stressed that the company (OpenAI) will need help from different sources, including governments, regulators, and everyone else.&nbsp;

“But we're a small group of people and we need a tonne more inputs in this system and a lot more input that goes beyond the technologies—definitely regulators and governments and everyone else," Murati noted.&nbsp;

<h2>Is Mira Murati Indian?</h2>

Contrary to several reports in sections of media, Mira Murati is not Indian. She was born in Albania to Albanian parents, and&nbsp;educated in Canada.&nbsp;

Murati is a mechanical engineer by training who built a hybrid race car as an undergraduate student at Dartmouth College. Before joining&nbsp;OpenAI in 2018, she had&nbsp;worked at Tesla, where she played a key role in the development of the Model X car, and Leap Motion, a startup that developed a computing system to track hand and finger motions.&nbsp;

Murati said that her work at Tesla exposed her to AI and inspired her to look for a job in that field. OpenAI hired her as its vice president of applied AI and partnerships.&nbsp;

<h2>What is ChatGPT?</h2>

The AI chatbot ChatGPT was created by San Francisco-based OpenAI, a startup that does AI research. The application&nbsp;was made available in November 2022. It is able to converse about anything from history to philosophy, produce lyrics, and provide changes to computer programme code.

It is trained on a sizable collection of articles, websites, and social media postings in addition to real-time talks, mostly in English, with human contractors employed by OpenAI. It picks up on the writing's syntax and organisation and learns to reflect commonly used expressions. The chatbot's correctness isn't always reliable because its sources aren't fact-checked and it depends on user input to get better.&nbsp;

Is OpenAI's interim CEO Mira Murati an Indian? Here is what we know about her

If the last half of last year belonged to Elon Musk for his tumultuous Twitter takeover, the ongoing first half of 2023 is being spotlighted upon OpenAI's ChatGPT for the way it has nearly mainstreamed the use of Artificial Intelligence at workplaces worldwide.&nbsp;

This weekend, a blast from the recent past has detonated the anticipatory capabilities of Silicon Valley with several 'what if' reactions.&nbsp;

A Semafor report has claimed that Elon Musk stood the chance to be one of the defining faces behind ChatGPT's Artificial Intelligence run. But before OpenAI's ChatGPT could launch its Artificial Intelligence drive into global technological pathways, Musk left OpenAI's board.&nbsp;

<h2>Elon Musk and ChatGPT: What was Twitter owner's role in OpenAI?</h2>

Elon Musk was reportedly a co-founder and board member of OpenAI. He left the OpenAI board in 2018. The official reason cited by Musk when he left the OpenAI board was to avoid a conflict of interest with Tesla.&nbsp;

"As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon," OpenAI had said in a blog post then.&nbsp;

However, Semafor report points to a failed takeover attempt as the reason behind Musk leaving OpenAI with Sam Altman at the helm of affairs.&nbsp;

<h2>Elon Musk and ChatGPT fallout: What happened?</h2>

According to people familiar with the matter cited by Semafor, Musk told fellow co-founder Sam Altman that he thought OpenAI was lagging behind Alphabet-owned Google in the AI race. Musk reportedly offered to takeover himself but Altman and other co-founders refused, following which Musk left the board, Semafor reported.

<h2>Elon Musk's outspoken criticism of ChatGPT</h2>

In 2019, Musk said he "didn't agree with some of what OpenAI team wanted to do." In 2020, he said that OpenAI "should be more open."

In December, days after ChatGPT was launched, he said, "OpenAI was started as open-source &amp; non-profit. Neither are still true."&nbsp;

On a Twitter thread posted by Altman, Musk commented, "ChatGPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerously strong AI."

Last month, Musk continued his criticisms of OpenAI.

"OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it "Open" AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all," he tweeted.
