Personnel: Andrej Karpathy at OpenAI (Founding Member, Research Scientist)
The source confirms Karpathy was a founding member and research scientist at OpenAI, and confirms the 2015-2017 timeframe. However, the source states he was a research scientist 'from 2015 to 2017' without specifying the exact month he started (the record claims 2015-12). The source also states 'In June 2017 he became Tesla's director' which aligns with the endDate of 2017-06, but the exact month of departure is not explicitly stated as June in the OpenAI context—only that he moved to Tesla in June 2017. The record's startDate of 2015-12 is not explicitly confirmed; the source only says 'from 2015' without month precision.
