Former OpenAI staff urge states to block company's move to for-profit, citing AI safety concerns.

Former OpenAI employees, including Nobel laureates, are asking California and Delaware's top law enforcement to block the company's shift from nonprofit to for-profit status. They fear that if OpenAI becomes a for-profit entity, it may no longer prioritize safeguarding AI from potential harms. OpenAI asserts that any restructuring would maintain public benefit, with a for-profit arm alongside a nonprofit one.
