Comment by Sam Altman
CEO at OpenAI
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.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote directly discusses creating and delivering AGI: it says OpenAI’s mission concerns 'artificial general intelligence (AGI)' and explicitly states 'We want to deliver beneficial AGI.' That clearly supports the full statement about building AGI, not just a related side issue.

Quote attributed to Sam Altman / OpenAI (2025) from openai.com/index/evolving-our-structure/. WebFetch on openai.com source URL returned HTTP 403. Web search confirms verbatim the key opening line "OpenAI is not a normal company and never will be" and the subsequent passages about ensuring AGI benefits humanity, in the official OpenAI announcement of its restructuring to a Public Benefit Corporation in 2025. Vote "for" the statement "Build artificial general intelligence" correctly aligns with OpenAI's stated mission. Marking ai_unverifiable due to source URL blocking.
