Poll Of the Week

Should OpenAI Be Allowed to Become a For-Profit Company?

OpenAI's transition from nonprofit to for-profit status has ignited intense debate in Silicon Valley. Critics, including Meta and Elon Musk, warn that this shift could set a troubling precedent. Musk argues it prioritizes profits over the public good and risks monopolizing the AI market, while Meta contends it could allow nonprofits to exploit tax benefits and investor goodwill before becoming profit-driven, eroding public trust. OpenAI defends the move, stating it will preserve the nonprofit’s value while helping it advance its AI mission more effectively.

Yes, it’s for the greater good.
No, it sets a bad precedent.

I have no dog in this race.
