OpenAI has decided not to convert to a for-profit corporation. Instead, the company is restructuring as a public benefit corporation, and the nonprofit that controls OpenAI will continue to control the company. “OpenAI was founded as a non-profit, and is today overseen and controlled by that nonprofit,” wrote OpenAI Board Chairman Bret Taylor in a blog post. “Going forward, it will continue to be overseen and controlled by that nonprofit.” OpenAI says it reversed course “after hearing from civic leaders and engaging in constructive dialogue with the offices of the Attorney General of Delaware and the Attorney General of California.”
