FOUNDERS OF OPEN AI

OpenAI was founded in December 2015 by a group of AI enthusiasts and experts: Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba.

And yes that is the man, the myth, the legend: Elon Musk (we’ll get into the juicy bits of this below that you’re going to love)

But the name that stands out prominently in its leadership is Sam Altman, who transitioned from a co-chair to the CEO of the organization.

Sam Altman, previously the president of the startup accelerator Y Combinator, has been a vocal advocate for ethical AI.

Under his leadership, OpenAI has emphasized the importance of safety, transparency, and collaboration in AI research.

Sam's journey from a startup founder to leading one of the most influential AI research organizations is a testament to his vision and commitment to the responsible development of AI.

The founding team of OpenAI brought together a mix of expertise, from machine learning research to technology entrepreneurship.

Their collective vision was clear: to build safe and beneficial AI for the betterment of all.

Company

Their mission is to ensure that AGI, which refers to highly autonomous systems that outperform humans in the most economically valuable work, is used for the benefit of all.

They aim to build safe and beneficial AGI directly, but they also consider their mission fulfilled if their work aids others in achieving this outcome.

OpenAI follows a set of guiding principles:

• Broadly distributed benefits: They commit to using any influence they obtain over AGI to ensure it benefits everyone and to avoid enabling harm and power concentration.

• Long-term safety: OpenAI is dedicated to conducting research to make AGI safe and to promote the adoption of safety research across the AI community.

• Technical leadership: They believe that to effectively address AGI's impact on society, they must be at the forefront of AI capabilities.

• Cooperative orientation: OpenAI actively cooperates with other research and policy institutions to create a global community that addresses AGI's challenges together.
