Grabbing the spotlight in the tech world, OpenAI is now a powerhouse, valued more than some mammoth corporations like McDonald's and Chevron, thanks to a hefty $40 billion influx [3].
Under the PBC format, the nonprofit OpenAI will hold an equity stake, making it one of the wealthiest nonprofits around. OpenAI mentioned that the PBC and the nonprofit will have the same mission [1].

*AI - A DUAL-EDGE SWORD; LOWER PRICES, BUT CLOSELY WATCHED BY AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS*
Open AI CEO, Sam Altman, voiced his insights on the potential uses and abuses of AI during the press call. He emphasized that while AI technology will surely help bring down costs, it could also fall into the hands of authoritarian regimes [2].
The new structure, according to Taylor, strikes a balance between investor, employee, and nonprofit's mission interests. He acknowledged that it simplifies the corporate structure, allowing the PBC to tap into more funding, thereby deploying AI tools more extensively [1].
Embracing the future, OpenAI is gearing up for the substantial investment and growth needed to achieve its mission of developing AGI. The company's leader, Altman, declared that it's high time for OpenAI to evolve its structure to make its services available "to all of humanity," a goal that demands massive financial resources [1].

He shed light on the company's efforts in alignment research and the pursuit of "democratic AI." Altman expressed optimism that OpenAI would become "the largest and most effective nonprofit in history" [1].
