Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, criticizes OpenAI's shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit model, arguing it should invest at least $30 billion in safety, ethics, and public access to AI technology. He claims OpenAI has strayed from its original mission to benefit humanity and is prioritizing profits instead. Weissman believes that a charitable foundation could help ensure that AI development aligns with public interest and safety concerns.
