Silicon Valley : Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati has denied reports claiming she was offered a $1 billion salary package, calling the rumors “completely inaccurate.”
The clarification comes as Murati makes headlines for launching her own artificial intelligence startup aimed at building responsible and human-centered AI.
In a statement released on Monday, Murati said, “While I’m honored by the speculation, I want to be clear — I was not offered a $1 billion salary. My focus is, and always has been, on advancing safe and ethical AI.”
Murati, who played a key role in the development of ChatGPT and other flagship OpenAI technologies, recently stepped down to establish her own AI company, though details remain under wraps. Industry insiders say the venture will likely emphasize transparency, open research, and safety — values Murati has long championed.
