In order to explore the strengths and limits of its technologies in the real world, the Organization also developed an Application Programming Interface (or API), giving developers the ability to build GPT-3s capabilities into their apps. The OpenAI API was made available in private beta to select, approved developers who must abide by the use case guidelines, terms and policies established by the Organization consistent with the mission. The Organization reviews every app before it goes live according to its use case guidelines.All these advances in AI technology are moving the Organization towards achieving its mission, which is the development of Artificial General Intelligence that benefits humanity. The Organization has continued to support the OpenAI Scholars Program, which provides mentorship and support to researchers from underrepresented communities to apply their specializations to current AI research, concluding with a final open-source project. 10864866 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false true 24 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 4 false false false false false false false true false 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 COO/Sec/Tres 10.00 30.00 X 50000 302538 8819 Ilya Sutskever Research Dir. 10.00 30.00 X X 0 298372 40467 Jerry Tworek Technical Staff 20.00 20.00 141894 151060 18168 David Lansky General Counsel 10.00 30.00 X 0 305955 0 Jacob Hilton Technical Staff 20.00 20.00 114803 118890 7445 Amanda MacAskill Policy Staff 40.00 0.00 190289 0 15374 Shivon Zilis Director 10.00 0.00 X 200000 0 0 Reiichiro Nakano Technical Staff 40.00 0.00 186010 0 7877 Przemyslaw J Debiak Technical Staff 40.00 0.00 157607 0 2198 Gregory Brockman Director/CTO 10.00 30.00 X X 0 55108 95865 Sam Altman Dir/President 10.00 30.00 X X 0 55108 8472 Reid Hoffman Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Holden Karnofsky 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 0.00 X 0 0 0 1040603 1287031 204685 11 false true false Global Security Corporations 1701 S Kelly Ave Edmond OK 73013 Security Services 346254 1 2661461 51337 2661461 0 96633 96633 0 0 515000 515000 515000 515000 208690 208690 208690 208690 0 0 0 0 3481784 820323 10250005 10250005 0 0 0 250000 250000 0 363861 363861 0 169332 169332 98526 98526 0 77913 77913 137270 137270 0 0 0 569664 563524 6140 32110 32110 73 73 18118 18118 0 872842 872842 2566 2566 0 0 0 0 29909 29909 39692 39692 Cloud Computing Expenses 51337 51337 Payroll Administration 17291 17291 Bank Fees 5790 5790 Other Expenses 3790 3790 454 454 12990543 10864866 2125677 0 28481077 1009684 300968 18890423 0 0 0 0 0 0 978592 359907 185952 56813 159048 129139 0 0 0 0 1120453 987414 31040138 21376567 267941 113129 267941 113129 X 30772197 21263438 30772197 21263438 31040138 21376567 -9508759 X false true X true false X 13784637 33228555 49917797 33580000 2661461 133172450 0 0 13784637 33228555 49917797 33580000 2661461 133172450 41040826 92131624 44 110 96633 96787 0 50834 19688 70522 133339759 0.69100 0.68390 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 178180 53596 124584 2347 2347 5425 870 4555 129139 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).
