Tyler Whitmer

Tyler Whitmer, a litigator and coauthor of a letter to state Attorneys General regarding OpenAI's corporate restructuring, discusses the alarming shift of OpenAI from nonprofit to Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). He argues this transition could undermine the nonprofit's ability to prioritize safety over profit in AI development. Key points include the lack of accountability for PBCs, regulatory challenges, and the legal complexities of maintaining public benefit in a profit-driven landscape. Tyler emphasizes the urgent need for transparency and oversight to protect humanity's interests.
