The newly proposed structure maintains non -profit control, although Monday’s blog post did not appear in detail what it will look like. The company stated that its current subsidiary will become a public corporation of benefits (PBC), in this way its anthropic and XAI competitors are set. PBCs may prioritize the interests of shareholders as well as social.
“Non -profit will control and will also be a large PBC shareholder, providing better non -profit resources to support many benefits,” said post on the Opeli blog. “Our mission remains the same and PBC will have the same mission.”
The General Prosecutor Delaware, Kathy Jennings, said in a statement for the wired that she is encouraged by OpenAI, taking into account her fears and enabling the organization non -profit, maintaining control. “Now, when the company has a new plan, I intend to review it in terms of compliance with Delaware, ensuring that it is in line with Openai’s charity and that the non-profit unit maintains adequate control over the unit focused on profit,” said Jennings.
The office of the Prosecutor General California Rob Bont did not immediately answer to the request for comment.
Robert Weissman, co -chairman of a public citizen who is in favor of vast corporations and has long criticized the Openai structure, claims that the startup plans are still unsatisfactory. He claims that there are no modern restrictions to ensure that the non-profit non-profit mission OPENAI has benefited all humanity with powerful AI tools. “It leaves us where we are, which is a non-profit organization, allegedly controlling the attitude focused on profit, but does not perform a visible restriction for profit,” says Weissman Wired.
OpenAI plans require a modern non -profit organization to have action at Public Benefit Corporation. The recent funding round of OPENAI is $ 300 billion, so these shares can be extremely lucrative, because the Non -Profit organization sells or borrows against them. California philanthropic activists called on a non -profit organization to obtain the “fair value” of action, which can lead to the best -financed foundation ever created. They also want the non -profit organization to be independent of the company, that business interests are not corrupt philanthropic giving. On Monday, activists renewed the call to the bint to a strict review whether OPENAI plans will achieve this separation.
“Opeli is not a normal company and will never be,” wrote Altman We -Mail to employees contained in the company’s announcement.
