OpenAI<\/strong>, the company behind ChatGPT<\/strong>, revealed last Friday its plans to reform its corporate structure, transforming its for-profit arm into a public benefit corporation (PBC)<\/strong> in Delaware, United States. According to the company<\/a>, this change would allow for greater investment by removing the limitations imposed by its non-profit parent. Additionally, the measure would help OpenAI secure funds in a context where the development of high-capacity artificial intelligences requires multimillion-dollar investments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The reorganization addresses the financial challenges of achieving a general artificial intelligence (AGI)<\/strong> that surpasses human intelligence. In October, the company raised 6.6 billion dollars in its latest funding round and was valued at 157 billion<\/strong><\/a>, depending, of course, on this restructuring and removing the profit cap for investors in two years. However, OpenAI assured that the non-profit entity will retain a “significant interest” in the new PBC through shares<\/strong>, making it one of the best-funded non-profit organizations in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n

The decision has not been without controversy. Elon Musk<\/strong>, co-founder of OpenAI and now one of its main critics, has attempted to block the plan, claiming it prioritizes profits over the public good<\/a>. Musk even sued the company, stating it violated contractual agreements. Additionally, Meta<\/strong> asked the California attorney general to stop the transformation to PBC<\/a>. However, OpenAI maintains that the changes are necessary to continue developing its mission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Although becoming a PBC involves balancing social objectives with profit generation, some experts like Ann Lipton<\/strong>, a corporate law professor, warn that this structure does not guarantee the fulfillment of its mission<\/strong>. “In practice, it is the majority shareholders who decide how faithful a public benefit corporation is to its mission,” she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n

Analysts consider this change essential to compete with rivals like Anthropic<\/strong> and xAI<\/strong>, which recently raised billions in funding. “This is the critical step for OpenAI to continue attracting capital,” noted Gil Luria<\/strong>, an analyst at DA Davidson & Co, although he added that the move “does not necessarily imply that OpenAI will go public”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
