Next week, a conversation with Bret Taylor, chairman of OpenAI’s board, will air. This week’s focus is on the ongoing debate surrounding OpenAI’s future. Despite its significant valuation, OpenAI operates as a nonprofit, established in 2015 to prevent investors from compromising AI’s ethical use. The 2023 board coup that removed Sam Altman as CEO highlights internal tensions. Now, OpenAI seeks to abandon its nonprofit status to secure funding and potentially go public. This shift raises critical questions not just for the company but for the entire AI landscape. Guests Catherine Bracy, CEO of TechEquity, and Orson Aguilar, CEO of LatinoProsperity, represent the EyesOnOpenAI coalition, voicing concerns about OpenAI straying from its core mission. OpenAI declined to comment, referring to a May post from Altman which claimed the restructuring would result in the “largest and most effective nonprofit in history.” For more insights, see the links below.
