OPENAI

OpenAI's mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. That means sometimes our products will not be optimized for short-term revenue.

I helped start OpenAI as a nonprofit to keep AI safe. Then it became a for-profit chasing Microsoft money. So I had to start xAI to do what OpenAI was supposed to do.

I left OpenAI because I thought we could do better on safety. Not because I thought they were bad, but because I thought the stakes demanded the best.

The board takes its responsibilities seriously. We will always prioritize the long-term mission of OpenAI.
