OpenAI has made a significant change in its restructuring plan for a long time and gave up its goal of switching into a profit model. According to the company’s statement, the current -free structure will be preserved and the sub -organization, which carries out the commercial activities of OpenAI, will be transformed into a public interest company model (Public Benefit Corporation). This decision came after the US Delaware and California State Chief Public Prosecutors carefully examined the process. Both Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office are among the institutions that control OpenAI’s non -profit status.
Behind the decision, increasing social pressure and institutional inspections in recent months were effective. Many stakeholders, especially some non -governmental organizations, argued that OpenAI should not move away from the original mission. Especially the criticisms that the transition to a profit structure can leave public interest in the background in artificial intelligence studies drew attention. Bret Taylor, Chairman of the Company, announced the decision taken at the end of the process to the public.
Taylor said in a statement, the main organization of the main organization on the OpenAI will continue to control. Thus, the initial ethical responsibility framework of the organization will be preserved. The current commercial subsidiary of the company will continue its activities with a legal entity that observes the public interest, not with the limited profit partnership model. This new structure aims to balance between the purpose of profit and public interest.
OpenAI wants to establish a public interest balance while maintaining investor interest
CEO Sam Altman, an internal note sent to employees, the current limited profit structure is no longer sufficient, he added. According to Altman, this structure was based on the assumption that it would initially be a single powerful AGI (artificial general intelligence) initiative. However, the fact that many important players took place in this field gave rise to a more flexible financial model. With the new structure, OpenAI is aimed to maintain long -term investor interest and maintain its mission.
OpenAI’s restructuring process was shaped in the shadow of the past internal crises. The change of administration in 2023 and the short -term dismissal of CEO Sam Altman led to the criticism of the company in terms of transparency principles. Following this incident, there was a public perception that the impact of the non -profit structure had weakened. This new statement aims to eliminate this perception.
On the other hand, it is seen that OpenAI’s decision plays a decisive role in this decision. Elon Musk’s lawsuit filed for the company’s principles, causing the issue to become more visible in the public opinion. In addition to Musk, some former employees claimed that the company has moved away from the principle of transparency and ethical responsibility. The legal investigations carried out by Delaware and California Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office also make sense in this context.
With the company model for the new public interest, OpenAI will have the capacity to get more investment. Following Microsoft’s large -scale investments in the company, the continuity of investor interest is of great importance for the company. Microsoft has provided $ 13 billion resources to OpenAI. With this new structure of OpenAI, it is seen that it wants to maintain the trust of investor and to maintain public support.
