At the end of last year, Bell, Blackwell and Aguilar decided to vacuum the ancient textbook. They ordered a legal note that repeated the authority of the Prosecutor General in the field of irrevocable status of charity funds and called their contacts to create a coalition, which is currently over 50 social organizations to try to affect the future of one of the hottest technology companies in the world.
Blackwell claims that some group members are afraid that OpenAI plans may threaten the integrity of the non -profit sector as a whole. They argue that donors may reluctantly contribute if they think that the money intended for public good can be covered on profit -oriented classes.
The coalition called the Prosecutor General California launched the campaign In January, to draw the attention of public remark on this problem. The effort brought widespread support, including some of them Former employees of Openai And AI researchers, who also called Bont’s equivalent in Delaware – where OpenAi is chartered – so that her mission is not undermined by restructuring. (Both offices of the Prosecutor General said they were investigating the case, but they gave some details).
Until March, Opeli wanted to meet the Aguilar’s Advocacy coalition. At the offices of the San Francisco Blackwell, Aguilar and other coalition leader, at the Openai global employees, including Debbie Mesloh, a former senior adviser to the then prosecutor general Kamali Harris.
Openai’s receipt says that the meeting aroused “a number of misunderstandings about our corporate structure – many of which seemed to be reflected by people expressed by Musk.” Aguilar says that Opeli wanted opinions on the evolution of his non -profit mission. But the basic questions about funds and independence of OpenAI on the charity shoulder were left.
“ Great damn offer ”
The next participant in the meeting was Daniel Zingale, a retired adviser to several California governors, who is currently consulting Openai. Mesloh and other company leaders who knew Zingale from California’s politics wanted them to convene a group of Luminaria from the philanthropic world to give advice on how OpenAi should spend charity funds and distribute their technology to other non -profit organizations. In 2023, Current arm non -Profit openai Spent over $ 2.6 million in subsidies, including educational institutions, AI security groups and economics researchers.
Zingale claims that the spokeswoman of the external coalition of Aguilar has helped play a role in the assumption of the OPENAI advisory committee, which began the meeting on April 21 and whose recommendations are due until July 20.
Among the members are a veteran of political adviser Jack Oliver, former media director Monica Lozano and a 95-year-old work activist Huerta. They did not answer the requests for comment.
Zingale also helped to recruit Robert Ross, who had previously spent about a quarter of a century as California Endowment, one of the non -profit organizations, which emerged from the conversion of healthcare in the 1990s Ross claims that his was the organization is widely recognized as the success of the conversion of non -profit organizations and wants the same to the same.
“This is a great matter in civic and political circles that will have huge consequences for civil society and marginalized and underrated communities,” says Ross. “Our task is more on the expenditure side – as assets should be implemented. However, this is not incomplete if we do not talk to management issues. I suspect that you will see a report that will speak about both matters.”
Aguilar says he is skeptical about the efforts of the advisory panel. Although the Commission should come up with recommendations on how OpenAi can aid everyone so that everyone can utilize AI, Zingale and Ross tools to say that they have little experience in using artificial intelligence itself.
“This is a fascinating undertaking for me, because what I know about AI could fit in the pound,” says Ross, adding that he is eager to learn from others who are more competent.
