OpenAI was founded in 2015 by a group of influential people in the technology industry, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba. These individuals were motivated by a shared concern about the risks and potential benefits of artificial intelligence, and a desire to create AI that is safe and beneficial for humanity.
Since its founding, OpenAI has grown to include a large and diverse team of researchers, engineers, and support staff, including many experts in artificial intelligence and related fields. The organization is led by CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman, and is guided by a board of directors that includes Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Ilya Sutskever, and others.
OpenAI is also supported by a number of partners and collaborators, including universities, research institutions, and private companies. Together, these individuals and organizations are working to advance the field of artificial intelligence and ensure that its benefits are shared widely and fairly.
