Associated Press: Mira Murati, the Albanian who is reshaping global Artificial

OpenAI's explosion as one of the most promising companies of the future in the tech field did not happen by chance. Behind her stood powerful figures, and among them, with a profile that combined mystery and vision, the Albanian Mira Murati stood out.

Born in Vlora and professionally trained in the international arena, Murati has been a key figure in the rise of OpenAI, initially as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), before leaving after ChatGPT's staggering success around the world.

Outstanding success:
Murati was responsible for leading research, product development, and security teams, playing a key role in the success of technology that transformed the way humans interact with artificial intelligence. The prestigious Fortune magazine recently ranked her 57th among the 100 most powerful women in the world, praising her undisputed impact on the global tech sector.

"ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users in just two months – a revolution that transformed the industry," writes Fortune, highlighting Murat's leadership role.

From OpenAI to Thinking Machines Lab:
After leaving OpenAI, Mira Murati founded the startup Thinking Machines Lab, a company that aims to build a new and more reliable form of artificial intelligence. The goal is clear: AI that humans can understand, trust, and use usefully, not just intimidate.

Murati has raised the target to secure $2 billion in investments, a goal that has almost been achieved. The company's value is expected to exceed $10 billion, putting it at the same starting point as OpenAI a few years ago.

???????? Albania is also part of its vision:
For the first time, Albania has entered this advanced world through a $10 million investment from the state budget, to support the Thinking Machines Lab – a historic step for the country in building an economy based on knowledge and technology.

Murat's statement:

"We are building a new kind of Artificial Intelligence – one that people can trust, shape and understand. It's not about replacing people, it's about amplifying what makes us unique."
Ethical and one-of-a-kind approach to AI:
Unlike most companies that follow the path of AGI (artificial general intelligence), Murat's approach is more pragmatic and human. The Thinking Machines Lab focuses on safety, ethics, practical use, and social impact – elements that are missing in many of today's AI developments.

The future of Artificial Intelligence may be bright – thanks to minds like Mira Murat's./ Associated Press
