The "Early life" section says she's born in 1986 and attended the university of Tirana and MIT, studying computer science. The box and the "Education" section say that she was born in 1988 and attended Dartmouth to study mechanical engineering. PT Mann (talk) 09:22, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Issues are fixed now.--FeralOink (talk) 05:20, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's been a mixup between Murati and Ermira Murati (https://www.davisuwcscholars.org/scholars/2011/m/node/2059). Ermira went to UWC Pearson and graduated from Colby College in 2011. Mira Murati graduated from Dartmouth in 2012. 172.58.89.211 (talk) 18:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly possible there's confusion - public bios that don't seem cribbed from Wikipedia are sparse - but she is listed as Ermira in various formal/official contexts that I imagine she would have directly edited or approved:

https://direct.mit.edu/daed/article/151/2/156/110626/Language-amp-Coding-Creativity

https://schedule.sxsw.com/2019/speakers/2008932

(in all of those cases it's unambiguously the subject of the article, with explicit mention of OpenAI).

On Linkedin, she is also a member of a "United World Colleges (Alumni)" group, which indicates at least some connection to UWCs.

Furthermore, it is possible to get a Dual degree from Colby and Dartmouth: https://www.colby.edu/academics/departments-and-programs/engineering-dual-degree-programs/ Dotx3 (talk) 20:31, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I checked carefully. She *did* attend UWC (a two year, pre-college program). Dotx3 is correct.--FeralOink (talk) 05:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For further clarity: "Mira" seems to be simply a diminutive of "Ermira". Same person. (Also, in addition to being an alumna of UWC's IB program, it appears that her American university studies were indeed funded by a UWC Davis grant – no small feat, either. We could probably add this back to the article.) Curious to see what she does next. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 22:18, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Dartmouth website states that Murati "attended Colby College as a Davis UWC Scholar and simultaneously earned her AB from Colby and a BE from Dartmouth as a dual-degree student at Thayer School of Engineering." Can we now park this matter and accept that she attended these institutions, earned the relevant degrees, etc.? (The same source also mentions that she received an honorary Doctor of Science in June 2024.) -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 16:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like there's an edit war about her heritage. People continue adding the claim that she's "Indian Albanian" with no source and it rightly gets removed every time. Surely this page should be protected? 81.2.103.240 (talk) 03:35, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We have one source that says she was born in 1986 (Global Woman Magazine), another that says 1988 (Forbes India), and our infobox says 1980. Which is correct? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:06, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I request the Arabic version of the article about Mira Murati be merged with this article. As of now, when searching for the Arabic language article, it doesn't appear, even though it exists. Thanks. FlantasyFlan (talk) 06:19, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
