Labor and Non -Profit Coalition calls on California AG to stop Openai from going profit
A group of organizations, including non -profit organizations, such as Latin Transports and Labor Groups such as the California teams, make a petition to California General Prosecutor Rob Bont to stop Openai from becoming an organization with a profit, Thehe Los Angeles Times reportsS Openai has announced plans for Transition to a corporation for public dignity in 2024 and It is reported that there are two years To take it out or to risk much of the money, his collected becomes a debt.
The group’s main concerns are that Openai “failed to protect their charity assets” and actively “undermine its charity mission for the progress of safe artificial intelligence.” Openai launched as a non -profit research organization studying AI but switched to a company with a profit that is controlled and managed for a non -profit purpose In 2019S
This structure is legally permitted in California, but the request of the group claims This OpenAi decision to pursue a new structure is guided by the desire not to improve its mission, but to provide the “benefits of the AI ​​Pototyle for invading profits and control over what can become powerful world technologies-for a handful of corporate investors and high-level employees.”
Engadget has reached Openai and AG Bonta for comment on the petition and will update this article if we hear back.
The main justification of Openai to profit is to raise more money. Currently there is nothing to stop Openai from persuading more people to invest, But as Engadget reported in FebruaryIt is limited to the return it can offer to investors. This will not have these restrictions as a profit company, nor will it have to comply with the demands of a non -profit board focused on the risks of the company’s breakthroughs, not their usefulness as consumer products.
The OpenAi Council has tried to reign in the country with profit over the years, such as Sam Altman Pumps in 2023before he was redirect And the board was filled with new members, more friendly to Openai profit goals. The organizations behind the petition believe that such movements are sufficient justification to intervene the AG to protect the public’s interest.
The petition joins other attempts to suspend Openai conversion, such as Meta’s letter to Bont Claiming that Openai’s transition to profit will “discard the law” and Elon Musk Attempted to buy the company.
