Last fall, OpenAI announced its recapitalization, paving the way for the OpenAI Foundation to access significant resources. Today, we’re sharing how the Foundation is starting to put that support to work.
Our mission
Our mission is to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. This is a multi-faceted endeavor.
AI is already changing how people work, learn, and access care. It has the potential to unlock extraordinary benefits—faster medical breakthroughs, accelerated scientific discovery, more personalized services in healthcare and education, new tools for creativity and invention, higher productivity and economic growth, improved public services like transportation systems, and so much more.
