Mira Murati

Former CTO of OpenAI & Frontier AI Leader

Headshot of Mira Murati, former OpenAI CTO and frontier AI leader

Mira Murati is one of the most influential leaders shaping how frontier artificial intelligence is developed, deployed and governed. As former Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI, she played a central role in guiding the evolution of some of the world’s most powerful AI systems balancing rapid innovation with questions of safety, responsibility and real-world impact.

Her relevance lies at the point where capability meets consequence. Working at the forefront of generative AI, Mira has operated inside the tension every organisation now faces: how to move fast while remaining accountable, how to build transformative products without losing public trust, and how leadership decisions compound as systems scale globally.

Her talks are measured, thoughtful and grounded in lived experience. They focus on what leadership requires when intelligence becomes infrastructure and why judgment, governance and product responsibility matter as much as technical excellence.
