OpenAI in talks with regulators amid likely for-profit shift

OpenAI is in discussions with regulatory authorities to potentially change from a nonprofit to a for-profit organization.

The shift involves evaluating the valuation of OpenAI’s intellectual property, including ChatGPT.

OpenAI has not commented on the regulatory discussions.

In 2019, OpenAI formed a capped for-profit entity to meet funding needs.

Leadership changes occurred about a year later when CEO Sam Altman was dismissed and later rehired after conflicts regarding AI safety and commercialization.
