Have we entirely understood the possibilities AI can afford us? The gap between its practicality and theory is a divide that Mira Murati hopes to bridge.
Succeeding the rumors across Silicon Valley, the former CTO of OpenAI stepped down from her role. Citing the need for personal time and space as the reason for her abrupt exit.
Suffice it to say that Mira Murati is back in the news with a unique approach to developing AI systems. She recently launched a public benefit organization named the Thinking Machines Lab. With deep knowledge and expertise, she is headed towards developing AI that is accessible and useful. The AI systems will be based on the interaction between AI and humans.
This is quite a significant turn of events. Why?
Being the former CTO of OpenAI will turn certain heads toward you and your next step in the tech landscape. Especially when the AI economy has become fraught with the determination to win – make the best (powerful and efficient) AI model in the market.
But the Thinking Machines Lab is not entirely part of the AI herd. While the techies are currently focusing on fully autonomous AI agents, Murati is prioritizing multimodal systems. These will have a collaborative relationship between AI and humans.
Its capabilities will sync with human expertise and entail a broader spectrum of applications – beyond mathematics and programming. There is a prominent need for understanding AI systems rather than just leveraging their capabilities. While AI bots remain fruitful for marketing and customer service teams, to what extent are their outputs customizable according to human values? – this is an overarching question.
With every new AI model being introduced in the market, one thing is witnessable – the potentialities of AI are largely uncovered. And it might take decades to gauge its limits.
The recent news has merely entailed the name of this innovative startup. The funding or timeline for future activities remains unreachable and wrapped up behind closed doors.
