Summary

  • OpenAI has revealed the advisors that it has appointed to its new nonprofit advisory commission, in a move that it says is designed to “expand its reach and impact”.
  • The advisors include labour rights activist Dolores Huerta and Monica Lozano, who is on the board of Apple and was previously the president and CEO of the College Futures Foundation.
  • Also on the commission are Dr Robert K Ross, a health expert who was formerly the president and CEO of The California Endowment, and Jack Oliver, who OpenAI describes as a leader in government, technology, business and advocacy.
  • The appointments come after OpenAI’s controversial decision to become a for-profit company and amid widespread criticism from employees and others over its decision to abandon its founding non-profit mission.
