According to PANews, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly considering restructuring OpenAI into a regular profit-making company. This move is aimed at resolving the conflict between the company's non-profit nature and its revenue-generating operations.
An insider who has had discussions with Sam Altman revealed that one possibility is that Altman might transform OpenAI into a profit-making company. This idea has also been discussed by Altman. Some investors of OpenAI have expressed their desire for Altman to have an equity plan to ensure his interests align with the company's operations.
The reason behind Altman's consideration is the company's need to provide incentives for investors to attract substantial funding. If the company does not have a profit-making nature, it cannot provide incentives for investors, thus failing to achieve the expected goal of attracting $100 billion in funding.
