OpenAI is in discussions to transition from a non-profit to a for-profit structure, potentially establishing a public benefit corporation. The company, valued at $157 billion, is engaging with regulators in California as part of this shift. This move aims to balance ethical considerations in artificial intelligence with commercial interests. The talks could significantly alter OpenAI's operational framework, allowing for greater financial flexibility and investment opportunities. Additionally, there are reports of OpenAI being acquired, although details remain unclear.
