At the end of 2015, Sutskever left Google to become cofounder and chief scientist of the newly founded organization OpenAI.
OpenAI’s 2015 launch materials identified Sutskever as its research director, not chief scientist. Official later biographies say he served as research director first and became chief scientist later.
Full reasoning
This sentence compresses two different titles into a single 2015 event.
At OpenAI's launch in December 2015, the company's own announcement described Sutskever as "research director", not chief scientist. A later University of Toronto profile likewise states that in 2015 he co-founded OpenAI, serving as its research director and later as chief scientist. That means it is inaccurate to say he left Google in 2015 specifically to become ... chief scientist.
So the historically accurate version is that Sutskever left Google in 2015 to co-found OpenAI and serve as its research director, and he held the chief scientist title later.
