The Organizations efforts also included supporting a number of other public charities focused on technology, economic impact and justice, including the Stanford University Artificial Intelligence Index Fund, Black Girls Code, and the ACLU Foundation. More recently, the Organization forged partnerships with Duke University and other research organizations to sponsor additional AI impact studies. For example, the Organization facilitated a comprehensive task-based economic impact framework evaluating the potential economic impacts of large language models. The research found a potentially significant impact of artificial intelligence on the US economy. The research has been integrated into international policy discussions such as that by the OECD and the ILO, in addition to receiving broad coverage in the media. The Organization remains the governing body for all of OpenAI and holds a limited partnership interest in OpenAI LP. Each of the Organizations related organizations is legally bound to pursue the Organizations mission, such as following uncompromised principles of safety and broad benefit in its research and deployment efforts, unencumbered by profit incentives. Through its control of OpenAI, L.P., a capped-profit company formed to help rapidly scale the capital and talent needed to further its mission, and which the Organization governs and oversees all activities through its board, additional research milestones were accomplished in 2022 including the introduction of:1. OpenAI Residency program, which is designed to help bridge the knowledge gap for exceptional researchers and engineers in a variety of academic fields to gain the critical skills and knowledge to transition their careers into the AI & ML space. The Organization piloted this program by hiring, onboarding, and training a group of 14 residents from non-traditional backgrounds and fields of study for six months.2. Research Access Program, which supports researchers using OpenAIs resources to study areas related to the responsible deployment of AI and mitigating associated risks, as well as understanding the societal impact of AI systems. We provide early access to our models and tools to support their work across alignment, fairness & representation, safety evaluation development, model robustness, economic impact and other interdisciplinary research.3. DALLE 2, the second iteration of OpenAIs AI system that generates an original image from a description in natural language. The system was deployed iteratively as a creative tool with safety mitigations in place to prevent misuse. DALLE 2 includes a new technique that reduces bias and improves safety to produce results reflective of the worlds diverse population. Alongside the DALLE 2 deployment, the Organization also launched the OpenAI Artist Access program, which provides artists with subsidized and free access to OpenAIs tools.4. Embeddings, a new endpoint in the OpenAI Application Programming Interface (API) that makes it easy to perform natural language and code tasks like semantic search and classification.5. New and improved content moderation tooling to help developers protect their apps from misuse and detect undesired content using OpenAI classifiers. This safety tool is accessible to all developers free of charge.6. Whisper, an open-source neural net that approaches human level robustness and accuracy on English speech recognition.7. ChatGPT, a language model optimized for dialogue. It can answer follow-up questions and admit its mistakes. As a part of our approach to iterative deployment, a version is offered as a chatbot platform free of charges. The Organization actively monitors for misuse of its tools and continuously implements new safety features to ensure responsible use. These contributions to the advancement of AI technology, along with the continuous study on the broader societal impact of AI, are critical steps in moving the Organization towards the development of safe, effective, and productive general-purpose artificial intelligence that benefits all humanity. 907331 true false false true false false false false false false true false false true false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 14 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true true false CA DE X Chris Clark 4158799686 3180 18th St Suite 100 San Francisco CA 94110 Chris Clark Sec/Tres 10.00 30.00 X 50000 325000 27441 Ilya Sutskever Director 5.00 35.00 X 0 312849 21723 Rosemary Campbell Technical Staff 40.00 0.00 120000 60000 22269 Gregory Brockman Director 5.00 35.00 X 0 95659 18068 Shivon Zilis Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 75000 0 Will Hurd Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 75000 0 Sam Altman Dir/Pres/CEO 5.00 35.00 X X 0 62400 11146 Reid Hoffman Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam D'Angelo Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tasha McCauley Director 3.00 3.00 X 0 0 0 Helen Toner Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 170000 1005908 100647 1 false true false 0 1611 1611 0 42874 42874 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 44485 42874 363333 363333 0 0 0 58226 26784 31442 0 40374 18572 21802 0 17444 8024 9420 13161 6054 7107 0 139639 139639 118492 118492 0 0 0 0 0 9551 5969 3582 19738 12336 7402 0 421900 401000 20900 0 0 0 0 0 24305 23000 1305 63275 39547 23728 Other Expenses 2173 1358 815 Payroll Administration 1409 648 761 Bank Fees 931 582 349 Filing Fees 198 124 74 0 1294149 907331 386818 0 1009098 1082640 16168730 15535676 0 0 0 0 0 0 504314 1016336 185952 105423 104834 80529 0 0 0 0 2189387 1080403 19976363 18795584 90761 159646 90761 159646 X 19885602 18635938 19885602 18635938 19976363 18795584 -1249664 X false true X true false X 49917797 33580000 2661461 3066 1611 86163935 0 0 49917797 33580000 2661461 3066 1611 86163935 39825320 46338615 96633 8662 42874 148169 0 50834 19688 70522 86382626 0.53640 0.68000 X false false 1294149 1294149 204415 51104 false 316646 799527 213956 204415 1534544 2301816 79162 199882 53489 51104 383637 575456 178180 100748 77432 2347 2347 5425 2328 3097 80529 Receivable from Affiliate 1080403 1080403 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote There is no provision for federal or state taxes on income since the Organization is a tax-exempt entity under Internal Revenue Codes 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code 23701(d).

Profits Interests have a liquidation value of $0 at grant pursuant to Rev. Proc. 93-27 and Rev. Proc. 2001-43. The Related Organization first granted profits interests to applicable individuals in 2019 under the equity-based compensation arrangement referenced in the previous paragraph. Nine individuals listed on the 2019 Form 990, Part VII, Section A, line 1a participated in the equity-based compensation arrangement in 2019. Nine individuals listed on the 2020 Form 990, Part VII, Section A, line 1a participated in the equity-based compensation arrangement in 2020. Six individuals listed on the 2021 Form 990, Part VII, Section A, line 1a participated in the equity-based compensation arrangement in 2021. As noted above, vesting of such profits interests is generally subject to the individuals continued service to the Related Organization, the details of which may vary by individual and grant.
