An open letter signed by prominent figures in the AI industry calls on OpenAI to demonstrate transparency and loyalty to its nonprofit origins. The signatories express concern that OpenAI, founded to benefit humanity, may be prioritizing profits instead. They emphasize that OpenAI must clarify how its structural changes will affect its legal commitments to the public. The letter includes demands for information on the company's future decisions, especially regarding its nonprofit board's role, and ensuring that future AI developments benefit all, not just shareholders.
OpenAI is currently sitting on both sides of the table in a closed boardroom, making a deal on humanity's behalf without allowing us to see the contract, know the terms, or sign off on the decision.
We call for at least a basic level of transparency about how this transition will affect your legal commitments to the public.
We ask whether OpenAI will continue to uphold its legal duty to prioritize humanity over profits, questioning its commitment to devote excess profits to the benefit of all.
The overarching principle for OpenAI was to ensure that any future artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all humanity.
