OpenAI Foundation officially established as a new entity after the large recapitalization process that simplified OpenAI's organizational structure. This step makes the nonprofit organization one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the world, managing an equity value around 130 billion dollars.
This restructuring clearly separates the roles between nonprofit organizations and for-profit entities, while also ensuring the social mission remains at the center of the company's direction. OpenAI emphasizes that this change is designed to make governance more transparent, accountable, and oriented toward global benefits.
OpenAI Foundation's New Focus
This major change marks the beginning of two main focuses that will be directly funded by OpenAI Foundation with the total initial allocation reaching 25 billion dollars.
Health Research and Drug Discovery
The first priority is the acceleration of global medical research. OpenAI Foundation will provide funding for scientists around the world, build a secure open health dataset, and encourage the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate drug discovery and diagnostic systems.
The aim is to make AI technology a tool for equity in healthcare so that medical innovations are not enjoyed only by developed countries, but also by people in developing countries.
AI Security and Resilience
The second focus is building resilience to the risks of artificial intelligence. The OpenAI Foundation aims to form a layer of technical protection that can safeguard the safety of society, government, and industry from the potential negative impacts of advanced AI systems.
This effort includes funding for cybersecurity research, audits of large AI systems, as well as collaboration with international regulators to establish ethical and safety standards for technology.
Nonprofit and For-Profit Relationship Simplified
OpenAI emphasizes that this new structure does not change the essence of the mission since its establishment in 2015, namely to ensure AI is beneficial for all of humanity.In this structure, the nonprofit part remains the main controller of the for-profit entity which now takes the form of a public company with broad public interest.
That means, even though it has great commercial potential, every OpenAI business decision must still consider social responsibility and public ethics.
Dialogue Process with the Regulator
This recapitalization was prepared through lengthy dialogue together over almost a year. California and Delaware Attorney General's OfficesOpenAI follows all regulator directives so that ownership, governance, and reporting become stronger and in line with the principles of transparency.
The step serves as the basis for the OpenAI Foundation to maintain legitimacy and public trust, especially amid increasing scrutiny of global AI companies.
Impact and Forward-Looking Strategic Direction.
With this new structure, OpenAI Foundation and OpenAI Group will collaborate in building technology solutions that maximize the benefits of AI while mitigating its risks.
The focus of collaboration includes the development of open science, support for cross-border research, as well as programs to strengthen the resilience of the world's critical infrastructure against AI-based threats.
Promoting Global Cooperation
OpenAI also opens up partnership opportunities with research institutions and universities in various countries. They believe that AI challenges are global in nature, so international cooperation is needed so that its impact brings real progress for all parties.
This collaboration is expected to become a new model for the relationship between the private technology sector and the philanthropic sector, where business profits can directly fund humanity and science.
Transparency and Accountability
OpenAI Foundation plans to publish an annual public report detailing the use of funds, research progress, and the social impact of its programs. This step aims to reaffirm the commitment to transparency and social responsibility in the midst of increasing public concern about the role of AI in human life.
Affirmation of the Main Mission
OpenAI reiterates that all of these initiatives are rooted in the same principles since it was founded by Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Elon Musk in 2015: ensuring that advanced artificial intelligence is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the benefit of a particular group.
With the nonprofit control that remains strong and a substantial financial foundation, this organization is now entering a new era that combines the power of industry and humanitarian values.
