The source confirms Sutskever was a co-founder at OpenAI and confirms the start date of December 2015. However, the source refers to his role as 'research director' rather than 'Co-founder & Chief Scientist'. The source does not address the end date of June 2024, making that claim unverifiable from this source alone. The role title is partially confirmed but not exactly matched.
