OpenAI
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Founded in December 2015, we believe AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core. OpenAI is dedicated to putting that alignment of interests first — ahead of profit.
Our mission is to build safe and beneficial AGI, a system that can solve human-level problems. We also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others in achieving this outcome. Governed by a nonprofit structure with a capped-profit model, our commitment to safety allows us to redistribute profits to maximize the social and economic benefits of AI technology.
Key to our journey are our core values:
- Audacious
- Thoughtful
- Unpretentious
- Impact-driven
- Collaborative
- Growth-oriented
We strive to benefit people and society, acting with humility and feeling a sense of ownership in our work.
Our research spans a wide range of areas, including the development of models like ChatGPT, Sora, DALL·E, and the GPT series (GPT-4o, GPT-4.5, GPT-4), as well as the OpenAI o series. We offer tools and platforms like the API Platform to enable others to build upon our advancements.
Founded by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, and others, with initial funding from notable figures and organizations, we are committed to advancing digital intelligence in a way that benefits humanity as a whole. We prioritize a good outcome for all, encourage researchers to publish their work, and freely collaborate with others.
Join us as we shape the future of technology and work towards an AI-powered world that benefits everyone.
