Page Hedley, a former OpenAI employeeto halt the for-profit conversion, said he was pleased that OpenAI was listening to the concerns of civil society leaders but remained concerned about the details.

“The charitable mission is about ensuring this technology benefits the public and not shareholders,” said Hedley, a former policy and ethics adviser at OpenAI, in an interview. “The premise of OpenAI’s founding was that those interests might diverge significantly in the development, ownership or control of the technology. That’s what’s at stake.”A coalition of California-based charities on Monday renewed its call for California’s attorney general to investigate and questioned whether OpenAI’s planned new business structure would carry out its charitable mission.“If OpenAI is truly committed to benefiting humanity, it should transfer its charitable assets over to an independent public trust completely separate from any for-profit interests,” said a statement from Fred Blackwell, CEO of the San Francisco Foundation.

Rose Chan Loui, a nonprofit tax attorney who has studied OpenAI’s structure, said any change would need to allow the nonprofit to maintain control over the development of the technology.“If they’re not the majority shareholder, the control would have to be given through outsized voting rights on specific issues,” said Chan Loui, who is the executive director of the Lowell Milken Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofits at UCLA Law.

Water-damaged books lay drying on the elevated wooden terrace of Munadiroh’s home, while a floating white tub used to transport items in the water is tethered nearby. With no land left in the village, two chickens rustle in a tree nearby, causing the only audible noise in the entire village.The village has gotten quiet since nearly every family left due to constant flooding. Even the local mosque, where Munadroh’s husband served as a cleric, has stopped the trademark calls to prayer that would usually play five times a day.

With no other home or financial resources to move, Munadiroh and her family stay in the village. Her child, grade-school age, makes the long journey to school by wading through the water and riding in a boat several times a week. Sometimes the home still floods, and Munadiroh says she keeps working to dry as many things as she can in the sunlight each day.Sudarto stands at the door of his flooded home as his daughter Turiah looks on at their flooded house in Timbulsloko, Central Java, Indonesia, Sunday, July 31, 2022.
