OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has outlined plans to keep OpenAI running under the oversight of a non-profit and transition its profit side to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) to serve the good of society.
The focus is on providing tools to everyone, open-sourcing capable models, and giving users freedom in using tools like ChatGPT within broad boundaries.
The shift in approach towards AI comes as OpenAI aims to build a brain for the world, especially with the prospect of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) on the horizon.
The future of OpenAI, ChatGPT, and AGI remains uncertain as questions linger about the impact of the non-profit overseer and the company's focus on both public good and profit.
