OpenAI, the pioneering force behind artificial intelligence breakthroughs, has unveiled a plan to overhaul its corporate structure, signaling a significant strategic shift to fuel its ambitious pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

One of OpenAI’s co-founders, billionaire Elon Musk, has filed for an injunction to halt the company’s transition to a for-profit, accusing OpenAI of abandoning its original philanthropic mission. Musk has also alleged that OpenAI has deprived his own AI company, xAI, of capital by extracting promises from investors not to fund it.

OpenAI on Friday laid out a plan to revamp its corporate structure next year, saying it would create a public benefit corporation to manage its growing business and ease the restrictions imposed by its current non-profit parent.
