Open AI was founded as a non-profit organisation, with the goal of advancing AI in a safe and beneficial way for humanity. In 2019, it changed its structure to a "capped-profit" organization, which places a limit on returns from investments beyond a certain amount. Any profits that surpass this 100x return threshold are channeled into a supervising nonprofit company, and deployed to administer educational initiatives and advocacy efforts. In 2022, Open AI launched ChatGPT.
