The group, which also includes Amnesty International “Godfather” Jeffrey Hunton, embraces the researcher and chief ethical scientists Margaret Mitchell, and Stewart Russell, professor of computer science at the University of California at Berkeley, published the open letter today on a web called on the Internet Not to achieve special gains The letter also shared with the non -profit Openai Board.

The message comes less than two weeks after twelve employees in Openai to request A federal judge to obtain permission to reach a lawsuit against Sam Al -Tamman and the company. Harvard Lawrence Lesij Law, who also signed the new open letter, presented the proposal on behalf of the former employees Openai is accused of abandoning its non -profit roots And betraying the task that originally attracted them to the organization.

Openai is currently the increasing navigation around its efforts to escape the control of non -profit organizations. The restructuring must be completed by the end of the year to secure a full -term financing round worth $ 40 billion led by Softbank, which was completed in March. It is worth noting that the approval of the California Public Prosecutor Rob Punta to implement her plan. Punta oversees the state’s charitable organizations to ensure the use of its assets according to its original charitable purposes.

They warn that the proposed restructuring will strip the California and Dillauer lawyer for their current strength, undermining their ability to “protect the beneficiaries of Openai: the public.”

To protect the public interest, the regulatory discourse urges to stop restructuring, demand transparency, and ensure non -profitability – which leads to the fact that the leadership of Openai itself emphasized the importance of guarantees of governance in 2023 to ensure that it focuses on this [its] Long -term task. “

In response to the comment request, an Openai spokesman participated in the following statement: “Our board of directors was very clear: our non -profit organization will be strengthened and there will be any changes to our current structure in the service of ensuring that the broader audience can benefit from artificial intelligence. Ensure that with the success of profit and growth, non -profit organizations also allow us to achieve the task.”

A spokesman for the non-profit committee that was launched recently from Openai, which will reach the charitable efforts of the future company, said, “Increasing the impact of individuals and organizations that depend on the task that addresses critical global challenges-from health and education to public service and scientific discovery. We look forward to building on our work with their lawyers.”
