"While not a full picture of OpenAI's workforce, the snapshot underscores how heavily frontier AI labs continue to draw from a small cluster of top research universities - and how concentrated elite AI talent remains."
"A chart circulating on X breaks down where OpenAI employees went to school. It reads like a who's who of elite universities. Stanford leads by a wide margin, followed by UC Berkeley, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon, with strong showings from Harvard, Cornell, UCLA, and a few international institutions. The data comes from workforce.ai, which tracks and verifies online professional profiles to analyze hiring and talent trends."
OpenAI's employee education backgrounds concentrate heavily at a small cluster of elite research universities, led by Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. Harvard, Cornell, UCLA and several international institutions also appear among notable sources. The underlying dataset comes from workforce.ai, which tracks and verifies online professional profiles to analyze hiring and talent trends. The snapshot does not represent the full OpenAI workforce but highlights persistent concentration of frontier AI talent within top research programs and the narrow pipeline that feeds high-profile AI labs.
