OpenAI’s Nonprofit Division Retains Control Over For-Profit Organization

OpenAI recently made a significant decision regarding the structure of its organization. Initially, the company had announced plans to convert to a for-profit entity, but it has now decided that its nonprofit division will retain control over the for-profit arm.

According to OpenAI, the business wing of the organization, which had been under the nonprofit’s umbrella since 2019, will transition to a public benefit corporation (PBC). The nonprofit will maintain control and also hold a significant stake in the PBC.

In a statement on the company’s blog, OpenAI Board Chairman Bret Taylor emphasized that the nonprofit was founded as a nonprofit and will continue to be overseen and controlled by that nonprofit moving forward. This decision comes after engaging with civic leaders and holding discussions with the Attorneys General of Delaware and California.

The journey of OpenAI from a nonprofit to a “capped-profit” entity in 2019, and then considering a transition to a for-profit organization, has been met with challenges. Notably, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the company was deviating from its nonprofit mission of ensuring that its AI research benefits all of humanity.

Despite Musk’s legal action, OpenAI proceeded with its plans, with the nonprofit standing to gain billions of dollars in exchange for its controlling stake in the corporate arm. However, the opposition from various quarters, including former employees, nonprofit organizations, and Nobel laureates, raised concerns about the protection of charitable assets and the potential consequences of the restructuring.

In a letter to staff, CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the complex financial requirements of OpenAI’s mission to make its services accessible to all of humanity, estimating that trillions of dollars may be needed. The organization is now transitioning to a more conventional capital structure where everyone has stock, with the nonprofit retaining control over the PBC and becoming a significant shareholder.

The reversal of OpenAI’s course regarding its structure marks a significant development in the company’s evolution. The details of this new plan will be further discussed with stakeholders, including partner Microsoft and newly appointed nonprofit commissioners, as OpenAI continues to navigate the complexities of its mission and organizational structure.
