OpenAI Board Statement on Nonprofit Commission Report

The OpenAI Board of Directors has acknowledged the findings of an independent Nonprofit Commission, establishing a framework for how the organization's philanthropic efforts can address long-term systemic issues. This move is intended to ensure that the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity.

Independent Commission Findings and Purpose

The OpenAI Board convened an independent Nonprofit Commission in April to lead an engagement process. The primary objective of this commission was to gather feedback and learnings from a diverse range of stakeholders, including community leaders and frontline practitioners, to determine how OpenAI's philanthropy can best address systemic issues.

The resulting report reflects the independent findings of the commission, providing the Board with a technical and strategic roadmap for philanthropic engagement.

Strategic Goals for OpenAI's Nonprofit Arm

The Board has outlined several core commitments to guide the future of its nonprofit operations:

• Mission Alignment: The nonprofit is designed to fulfill the overarching mission of ensuring AGI benefits all of humanity.
• Resource Allocation: The Board is committed to maintaining a nonprofit that is well-resourced and mission-led.
• Community Responsiveness: OpenAI intends to build partnerships with those on the front lines of change to remain responsive to the needs of the communities it serves.

Commitment to Stakeholder Engagement

OpenAI emphasizes that the process of implementing the recommendations from the Nonprofit Commission Report was informed by the perspectives of frontline practitioners. The Board states its commitment to "listening, learning, and building in partnership" with these stakeholders to ensure the organizational structure remains responsive to the needs of the global community.
