OpenAI, the artificial intelligence startup, is planning to become a for-profit company, which has raised concerns about safety and governance.
A whistleblower, William Saunders, warned that the shift could lead to cutting corners on safety and governance decisions.
Saunders highlighted concerns about a potential lack of control by the non-profit board and the influence of OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, who may hold a stake in the restructured business.
The switch to a for-profit entity could undermine the original aims of OpenAI, which was committed to building artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
