OpenAI LP's Mission and Structure
OpenAI LP aims to ensure the benefits of artificial general intelligence for humanity by scaling rapidly through a hybrid for-profit/non-profit structure. Investors and employees can get a capped return ensuring the mission's success, with excess returns going to the non-profit entity. The company places its overall mission first, ahead of generating returns for investors, and controls are in place to prioritize the OpenAI charter, benefitting everyone.
Focus on AI Development and Safety
Despite the unique structure, the day-to-day work at OpenAI LP focuses on developing AI technologies without shifting to commercial products. The organization consists of around 100 people working on enhancing AI capabilities, safety alignment with human values, and appropriate governance. Concerns about AGI's potential risks are addressed by willing to merge with aligned organizations, prioritizing safety over competitive races for AI advancements.
We’ve created OpenAI LP, a new “capped-profit” company that allows us to rapidly increase our investments in compute and talent while including checks and balances to actualize our mission.
