According to Foresight News, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly considering a shift in the company's governance structure to a profit-making entity. This move, as per insiders cited by The Information, would result in the non-profit board of OpenAI losing control over the company.
The reason behind this potential transition is the lack of sufficient 'donations' required for the company's operations. OpenAI has indicated that a new cash injection model is needed to motivate stakeholders. This significant change in the company's structure could have far-reaching implications for its future direction and control.
