OpenAI has laid out plans to become a for-profit company. In a blog post published on Friday, OpenAI’s board said it will replace the company’s existing structure with one that puts control into the hands of its for-profit arm.

ChatGPT developer OpenAI has announced its new company structure. Non-profit status also plays a role in the new legal form.

The restructuring isn’t without opposition. Last month, Elon Musk filed a motion to block OpenAI’s shift to for-profit status, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg urged California Attorney General Rob Bonta to intervene. Critics argue the change could compromise OpenAI’s original mission as a nonprofit research lab dedicated to AI for public good.

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI laid out plans for a new corporate structure shifting away from control by a non-profit – an issue of contention for the AI trailblazer.
