OpenAI is a nonprofit.
Legally, nonprofits like OpenAI are considered charities—meaning their resources must solely serve the public good.
OpenAI is operating in a way that violates its charitable mission: It is entering business dealings for commercial gain, establishing a nonprofit board that puts profits over mission, and being opaque about who owns its charitable assets and how they benefit the public.
