According to The Information, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman informed some shareholders that the company is exploring shifting its governance structure to a for-profit business that is independent of the nonprofit board.

In response to Reuters’ questions regarding the story, OpenAI stated: “We remain committed to developing AI that benefits everyone.” “The nonprofit is central to our mission and will continue to exist.”
