Former Openai employees submit a summary to the company’s transfer of profit

A group of former Openai employees presented on Friday a A amicus proposal brief In support of Elon Musk in a lawsuit against Openai, it opposes the transfer of the planned Openai from a non -profit organization to a profit company.

The summary, presented by Harvard University’s law and the founder of the creative radiator Lawrence Lesij, the names of 12 former employees of Openai: Stephen Adler, Rosemary Campbell, Neil Chaudhry, Jacob Hilton, Daniel Cocotolo, Grechen Krgeger, Tudor Markov, Richard Najo, Geresh Sastair, William Willers, and Will. This makes this, if you decompose the non -profit control of Openai on the organization’s commercial operations, it “mainly violates its mission.”

Many former employees against Openai’s practices publicly spoke before. Kruger Call the company To improve accountability and transparency, while Kokotajlo and Saunders have previously warned that Openai is in A. The “reckless” race for the dominance of artificial intelligence. Winrayet He said This Openai “should not (trust) (trust) when promising to do the right thing later.”

In a statement, an Openai spokesman said that “non -profit” Openai “” does not go anywhere “and that the organization’s mission” will remain the same. “

“Our board of directors was very clear,” said TECHRUNCH spokesman. “We convert our current profit arm into a general interest company (PBC)-the same structure of other artificial intelligence laboratories such as Antarbur-where some of these previous employees work now-and (starting AI Musk) Xai.”

Openai was founded as a non -profit organization in 2015, but it turned into “profitable” in 2019, and is now trying to restructure again to PBC. When I moved to profitability, Openai kept its non -profit wing, which is currently enjoying a controlling share in the corporate arm in the organization.

MUSK lawsuit against Openai accuses the start of its non -profit mission, which aims to ensure the benefits of human intelligence research, the Humanitarian Association. Musk had sought a preliminary judicial order Openai conversion. Federal judge DenyBut allowed the case to go to the trial of the jury in the spring of 2026.

According to the former Openai’s employee, the current structure of Openai-a non-profit organization that controls a group of other subsidiaries-is a “crucial part” of its comprehensive and “critical” strategy for the organization’s mission. The restructuring that removes the role of controlling non -profit organizations will not only contradict the mission or Openai and the obligations of the Charter, but “will also emphasize the confidence of employees, donors and other stakeholders who joined and supported these obligations based on these obligations.”

Openai’s commitment to many main principles of implementation on (mission) in their charter document, “reads the summary. “These obligations have been seriously eliminated within the company and have been repeatedly connected to it as binding. The court must realize that maintaining non -profit governance is necessary to maintain the unique Openai structure, which is designed to ensure that artificial public intelligence benefits humanity rather than providing narrow financial interests.”

It is widely understood that artificial general intelligence, or AGI means artificial intelligence that can complete any mission that a person can.

According to the summary, Openai often used its structure as an employment tool – and has repeatedly emphasized that non -profit employees were “decisive” in carrying out its mission. The summary tells the Openai All-Hands Award at the end of 2020, which was claimed that the CEO of Openai Sam Altman emphasized that the governance of non-profit organizations and censorship was “of great importance” in “ensuring that the broad community safety and benefits were determined on short-term financial gains.”

“In recruiting talks with candidates, it was common to cite the unique structure of the Openai as a decisive discrimination factor between Openai and competitors such as Google or Anthropic and an important reason they must think about joining the company,” as he reads the summary. “This was the same reason often used to persuade employees who were thinking about leaving the competitors to stay in Openai – including some of us.”

The summary warns that Openai should be allowed to convert into profitability, as it may be motivated to “angles (cut)” to work safety and develop the strong Amnesty International “centered among its shareholders. Openai profit will not have a great reason for adhering to the “Merge and Assistment” paragraph in the current Openai Code, which is entrusted that Openai will stop competing with any “value alignment and safety” project that achieves AGI before that, confirms the summary.

The former Openai employees, some of whom were research and policy leaders of the company, are joining an increasing group that expresses a strong opposition to Openai.

Earlier this week, a group of organizations, including non -profit organizations and working groups such as California Teamsters, submitted a petition for the California Public Prosecutor Rob Punta to prevent Openai from becoming profitable. Pray that the company “failed to protect its charitable assets”, which is “sabotaging its charitable mission actively to progress in safe artificial intelligence.”

Encode, a non -profit organization that has been sponsored by California sick SB 1047 Artificial intelligence safety legislation, Ct It was presented in December.

Openai said that converting it You will maintain its non -profit arm And instill them with the resources that must be spent on “charitable initiatives” in sectors such as health care, education and science. In exchange for its dominant share at Openai’s Enterprise, the non -profit organizations According to what was reported, he will make billions of dollars.

“We are actually ready to build the best non-profit equipped that the world has ever witnessed-we do not convert it away,” the company Books in a series of posts on X Wednesday.

The risks are high for Openai, which needs to be completed by profit by the end of this year or abandoning the risks that have raised it in recent months, according to Reports.
