Summary
Former OpenAI chief technology officer (CTO) Mira Murati has launched a new AI start-up called Thinking Machines Lab, with a focus on increasing public awareness and understanding of AI.
Though specific products are yet to be announced, the company has stated that its creations will help humans to work alongside AI rather than creating fully automated systems.
Murati has recruited a significant number of researchers from elite AI labs, including OpenAI, Character.AI, and Google DeepMind, to build her team, including OpenAI co-founder John Schulman and former OpenAI leader Barrett Zoph, who is now CTO of Thinking Machines Lab.
One of the company’s stated goals is to provide tools that allow users to customise AI to their own needs and unique situations, and it has pledged to release technical research and code to the public to increase transparency.
