OpenAI plans for-profit transition to attract more capital by 2025

cnbc.com — December 27, 2024 at 02:01 PM UTC

OpenAI announced plans to transition to a for-profit structure by 2025, creating a public benefit corporation to manage commercial operations. This change aims to attract more capital, as the company faces increasing financial pressures and competition in the AI market. The shift will allow OpenAI to operate more like a startup, moving away from its original nonprofit model. The company has reported significant losses and aims to raise funds under conventional equity terms, which it believes will better align with investor interests. OpenAI's restructuring faces challenges, including legal disputes with co-founder Elon Musk, who opposes the transition. Additionally, the company has experienced a wave of executive departures, raising concerns about its focus on safety versus commercial success.
