SUMMARY:Implications of OpenAI’s Restructuring Plans
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar is offered by CalNonprofits. \nRegister \nJoin us for the next California Policy Forum webinar to examine OpenAI’s dramatic corporate restructuring – and what it means for the public good. Once the world’s largest nonprofit with a mission to harness AI for humanity\, OpenAI is now valued at over $500 billion and has strayed from its original charitable purpose. Our distinguished panel will unpack the company’s governance shake-ups\, the investigations launched by Attorneys General in California and Delaware\, and grassroots calls for accountability. More than corporate maneuvers\, this is about the future of equitable AI development and what’s at stake for Californians\, the nonprofit sector\, and philanthropy. \n  \n
