Built to benefit everyone
OpenAI NewsOpenAI 完成了资本重组并简化了公司架构。非营利实体仍掌控营利公司，并在通用人工智能（ AGI ）到来之前，获得了一条直接通向重大资源的途径。
名为 OpenAI Foundation 的非营利组织持有营利公司约 1300 亿美元的股权，使其成为有史以来资金最充足的慈善机构之一。此次重组还规定，随着营利公司达到估值里程碑，基金会将获得额外的所有权份额。
OpenAI 的使命——确保通用人工智能惠及全人类——将通过营利公司与基金会两条路径推进。公司越成功，非营利持有的股权价值越高，基金会便能动用更多资金开展慈善工作。
OpenAI Foundation 将优先投入 250 亿美元，在两个领域展开工作：
- 卫生与治愈疾病：基金会将资助加速健康突破的项目，让更快的诊断、更好的治疗和治愈惠及所有人。首批行动包括创建开源、负责任构建的前沿健康数据集，以及为科学家提供经费。
- 提升 AI 的韧性：正如互联网时代需要全面的网络安全生态来保护电网、医院、银行、政府、企业和个人，AI 也需要一层并行的韧性保障。基金会将投入资源支持面向实务的技术方案，以最大化 AI 的利益并尽量降低其风险。
这项安排建立在此前的 5000 万美元 People-First AI Fund 和 Nonprofit Commission 的建议之上。
以使命为核心
OpenAI 于 2015 年以非营利机构成立，其使命是确保通用人工智能造福全人类。今天， OpenAI 仍为致力于这一使命的非营利组织。
OpenAI Foundation 控制着 2019 年成立的营利实体，确保使命始终居于核心。该营利公司已转为一家名为 OpenAI Group PBC 的 public benefit corporation，与 OpenAI Foundation 拥有相同使命，确保公司使命与商业成功并行推进。可在网站上了解更多关于我们结构的信息。
此次资本重组保持了业内最强的以使命为导向的治理安排。
推进过程
此次重组在与 Attorneys General of California and Delaware 办公室近一年的建设性对话后完成。我们据此做出了若干调整，并认为这些变化将使 OpenAI 以及我们服务的公众受益。
未来， OpenAI Foundation 与 OpenAI Group 将协同推进解决 AI 带来的难题和机遇，包括让智能成为人人可用的工具、构建安全且一致的系统、加速科学发现以及加强全球合作与韧性。
我们认为，世界上最强大的技术必须以反映全人类共同利益的方式来开发。本次资本重组既让我们能够继续推动 AI 前沿，也通过更新的公司结构，确保这些进展惠及所有人。
OpenAI has completed its recapitalization, simplifying its corporate structure. The nonprofit remains in control of the for-profit, and now has a direct path to major resources before AGI arrives.
The nonprofit, now called the OpenAI Foundation, holds equity in the for-profit currently valued at approximately $130 billion, making it one of the best resourced philanthropic organizations ever. The recapitalization also grants the Foundation additional ownership as OpenAI’s for-profit reaches a valuation milestone.
The OpenAI mission—ensuring that AGI benefits all of humanity—will be advanced through both the business and the Foundation. The more OpenAI succeeds as a company, the more the non-profit’s equity stake will be worth, which the non-profit will use to fund its philanthropic work.
The OpenAI Foundation will initially focus on a $25B commitment across two areas:
- Health and curing diseases. The OpenAI Foundation will fund work to accelerate health breakthroughs so everyone can benefit from faster diagnostics, better treatments, and cures. This will start with activities like the creation of open-sourced and responsibly built frontier health datasets, and funding for scientists.
- Technical solutions to AI resilience. Just as the internet required a comprehensive cybersecurity ecosystem—protecting power grids, hospitals, banks, governments, companies, and individuals—we now need a parallel resilience layer for AI. The OpenAI Foundation will devote resources to support practical technical solutions for AI resilience, which is about maximizing AI’s benefits and minimizing its risks.
This builds on the $50M People-First AI Fund and the recommendations of the Nonprofit Commission.
Mission at the center
OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit; its mission is to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Today, OpenAI remains a nonprofit dedicated to that same mission.
The OpenAI Foundation controls the for-profit business, which was established in 2019, keeping our mission at the center. The for-profit is now a public benefit corporation, called OpenAI Group PBC—with the same mission as the OpenAI Foundation—which ensures the company's mission and commercial success advance together. Learn more about our structure.
This recapitalization maintains the strongest representation of mission-focused governance in the industry today.
This recapitalization was completed after nearly a year of engaging in constructive dialogue with the offices of the Attorneys General of California and Delaware. We made several changes as a result of those discussions and we believe OpenAI—and as a result, the public we serve—are better for them.
The path forward
The OpenAI Foundation and OpenAI Group will work in concert to advance solutions to hard problems and opportunities posed by AI progress. This includes making intelligence a tool that everyone can benefit from, building safe and aligned systems, turbocharging scientific discovery, and strengthening global cooperation and resilience.
We believe that the world’s most powerful technology must be developed in a way that reflects the world’s collective interests. The close of our recapitalization gives us the ability to keep pushing the frontier of AI, and an updated corporate structure to ensure progress serves everyone.
