OpenAI Forced to Abandon Plans to Become For-Profit

Quick Summary:

In a blog post, the Sam Altman-run company announced that it would remain under the control of its original non-profit governing board as it shifts its planned restructuring efforts of its for-profit arm.

Money Matters OpenAI may be raking in the investor dough, but thanks in part to erstwhile cofounder Elon Musk, the company won't be going entirely for-profit anytime soon.

"Our for-profit LLC, which has been under the nonprofit since 2019, will transition to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC)," the post reads, "a purpose-driven company structure that has to consider the interests of both shareholders and the mission".
