OpenAI should continue as a nonprofit to ensure that artificial intelligence technology is managed over private or government control. An advisory board emphasized the importance of civic involvement in AI development, advocating for community input on data usage and technology impacts. The board's recommendations offer a framework for evaluating OpenAI's actions and decisions. Having started as a nonprofit, OpenAI has faced challenges transitioning to a for-profit model, including legal and regulatory scrutiny and the establishment of a public benefit corporation to align with its mission.
We think it's too important to entrust to any one sector, the private sector or even the government sector. The nonprofit model allows for what we call a common sector, that facilitates democratic participation.
Communities that are already feeling the impacts of AI technologies should have input on how they are developed, including how data about them is used.
OpenAI started in 2015 as a nonprofit research laboratory and has since incorporated a for-profit company with a valuation that has grown to $300 billion.
OpenAI has run into hurdles escaping its nonprofit roots, including scrutiny from the attorney generals in California and Delaware, who have oversight of nonprofits.
