OpenAI’s Mira Murati shared that the first time her mother used ChatGPT, she asked, “When will Mira get married?”.
In a recent interview at Cannes Lion 2024, Murati recalled that when she first introduced her mother to ChatGPT in 2022, she was with her sister in Italy. She explained to her mother that she could ask any question she wanted,even in Albanian. Her mother’s first question to ChatGPT was about Mira’s marriage. To this, Mira’s sister humorously responded, “Mom, it’s not magic, it’s artificial intelligence”.
“She was having such a natural interaction with it that she thought she could ask anything,” said Murati.
Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma took to X and said, “#MomsEverywhere.”

“didn’t know she was Indian,” quipped a user on X.
Another user humorously remarked, “The most Albanian mother interaction ever. Recalling OpenAI’s leadership transition when Mira Murati was appointed Interim CEO during the Sam Altman kerfuffle, the user shared,”I told my mom, “Look, an Albanian woman is the CEO of one of the most innovative companies in the world.”
His mother’s response? “Message her, ask her on a date, and for a job.”
The most Albanian mother interaction ever.

Since joining OpenAI in 2018, Murati has been instrumental in leading the development of ChatGPT, DALL-E, and the GPT series. Her leadership has been recognised by industry leaders, including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, for her ability to blend technical expertise with a deep appreciation for OpenAI’s mission of responsible AI development.
Murati briefly served as interim CEO of OpenAI in November 2023, following the unexpected removal of Sam Altman. Her tenure as interim CEO was short-lived, as Emmett Shear replaced her three days later, and Altman was reinstated five days after his removal.
