Public Citizen Calls for Investigation of OpenAI's Nonprofit Status -- Redmondmag.com
The nonprofit consumer-advocate organization Public Citizen has asked California's attorney general to investigate OpenAI's nonprofit status, per a Tuesday announcement.
Public Citizen's letter to California's attorney general suggested that the OpenAI for-profit entity may have taken control around that time. "Close observers of the recent tumult at OpenAI tell a consistent story about why its CEO Sam Altman was dismissed and then brought back: for-profit interests defeated non-profit considerations," said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, in the organization's announcement. Weissman indicated that Microsoft is not a party in Public Citizen's complaint to California's attorney general, but that it is still "part of the story" regarding OpenAI's nonprofit status.
