A coalition of ex-OpenAI employees, Nobel laureates, and civil society organizations has urged California and Delaware attorneys general to stop OpenAI's restructuring into a for-profit entity, citing concerns it undermines the nonprofit's mission and governance safeguards. They argue that relinquishing control could jeopardize the safe development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), with significant implications for humanity. OpenAI maintains that the restructuring will enhance its nonprofit arm and serve the public interest.

OpenAI will evolve its structure by transitioning its for-profit LLC into a Public Benefit Corporation while remaining under the control of its founding nonprofit. This change aims to enhance resources for fulfilling its mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.
