OpenAI has completed a corporate recapitalisation that places its nonprofit arm—the newly renamed OpenAI Foundation—in control of its for-profit arm, now called OpenAI Group PBC, while preserving the organisation’s original mission: ensuring advanced AI benefits all of humanity. The Foundation holds a large equity stake (valued at about US $130 billion) in the for-profit, enabling substantial philanthropic activity. Initial focus areas for the Foundation include a US $25 billion commitment to health innovation (open datasets, scientific funding) and to building an “AI resilience” layer—technical solutions that bolster society’s ability to manage AI risks. The new structure is designed to align commercial success with mission-driven outcomes, while emphasising that the world’s most powerful technology must reflect collective interests as AI capabilities expand.
