The source confirms Ilya Sutskever was a co-founder of OpenAI and was involved from the organization's inception in December 2015 (startDate 2015-12 is confirmed). However, the source only identifies his role as 'research director,' not 'Chief Scientist.' The endDate of 2024-06 cannot be verified from this source, which is a blog post from December 2015 and a Wayback Machine capture from April 2025. The source does not address his departure or role change in June 2024. The record is partially confirmed but incomplete regarding the specific title and end date.
