OpenAI计划将其现有营利性公司转变为特拉华州公共利益公司（PBC），以更好地推进其确保AGI造福全人类的使命。此举旨在平衡股东、利益相关者和公共利益，使公司能以传统方式筹集资金。非营利部门将持有PBC股份，并专注于医疗、教育和科学等领域的慈善事业，确保其可持续发展。新的结构将使董事会可以直接考虑融资者的利益，并让非营利部门更容易地控制营利性业务。OpenAI将持续发展，帮助构建AGI经济，并确保其惠及全人类。

The section "The Future":

As we enter 2025, we will have to become more than a lab and a startup — we have to become an enduring company. The Board’s objectives as it considers, in consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, how to best structure OpenAI to advance the mission of ensuring AGI benefits all of humanity have been:

Choose a non-profit / for-profit structure that is best for the long-term success of the mission. Our plan is to transform our existing for-profit into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation⁠(opens in a new window) (PBC) with ordinary shares of stock and the OpenAI mission as its public benefit interest. The PBC is a structure⁠(opens in a new window) used⁠ by⁠(opens in a new window) many⁠(opens in a new window) others⁠(opens in a new window) that requires the company to balance shareholder interests, stakeholder interests, and a public benefit interest in its decisionmaking. It will enable us to raise the necessary capital with conventional terms like others in this space.Make the non-profit sustainable. Our plan would result in one of the best resourced non-profits in history. The non-profit’s significant interest in the existing for-profit would take the form of shares in the PBC at a fair valuation determined by independent financial advisors. This will multiply the resources that our donors gave manyfold.Equip each arm to do its part. Our current structure does not allow the Board to directly consider the interests of those who would finance the mission and does not enable the non-profit to easily do more than control the for-profit. The PBC will run and control OpenAI’s operations and business, while the non-profit will hire a leadership team and staff to pursue charitable initiatives in sectors such as health care, education, and science.

We’ve learned to think of the mission as a continuous objective rather than just building any single system. The world is moving to build out a new infrastructure of energy, land use, chips, datacenters, data, AI models, and AI systems for the 21st century economy. We seek to evolve in order to take the next step in our mission, helping to build the AGI economy and ensuring it benefits humanity.
