What is OpenAI?

OpenAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) research organization with a mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Founded in December 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba, among others, OpenAI has since become one of the leading AI research institutions in the world.

OpenAI focuses on creating safe and beneficial AGI, which refers to highly autonomous systems capable of outperforming humans at most economically valuable work. While working towards this goal, OpenAI also develops and advances AI technologies that have a broad societal impact even before AGI is achieved.

In order to fulfill its mission, OpenAI commits to a set of principles:

1. Broadly distributed benefits: OpenAI aims to use its influence to ensure AGI benefits everyone, avoiding uses of AI or AGI that harm humanity or concentrate power disproportionately.
2. Long-term safety: OpenAI is dedicated to researching and promoting the safe development of AGI and driving the adoption of safety measures across the AI community.
3. Technical leadership: OpenAI strives to be at the cutting edge of AI capabilities in order to effectively address AGI’s societal impact.
4. Cooperative orientation: OpenAI actively cooperates with other research and policy institutions and seeks to create a global community working together to address AGI’s challenges.

OpenAI has produced a series of groundbreaking AI models, such as the GPT series, DALL-E, and CLIP, which have demonstrated the potential for AI in natural language understanding, generation, and other areas.
