In late 2022, a coalition of over 50 community organizations formed by Bell, Blackwell, and Aguilar began addressing concerns about OpenAI's transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity. They argue that this change could undermine donor confidence in the nonprofit sector. The coalition urged California Attorney General Rob Bonta to closely examine OpenAI's plans. In early 2023, OpenAI engaged with the coalition, which raised misconceptions about its corporate structure while failing to clarify funding levels and independence for its nonprofit mission.
Bell, Blackwell, and Aguilar formed a coalition of over 50 community organizations to address concerns regarding OpenAI's conversion from nonprofit to for-profit status.
