Comment by Sam Altman

OpenAI is not a normal company and never will be. Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. When we started OpenAI, we did not have a detailed sense for how we were going to accomplish our mission. We now see a way for AGI to directly empower everyone as the most capable tool in human history. If we can do this, we believe people will build incredible things for each other and continue to drive society and quality of life forward. [...] We believe this is the best path forward—AGI should enable all of humanity to benefit each other. It is time for us to evolve our structure. [...] We want to deliver beneficial AGI.
