OpenAI plans to transition its for-profit arm into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) to secure capital and compete in the AI industry. This new structure will allow it to balance investor interests with social and environmental goals while funding its non-profit mission. Unlike traditional corporations, PBCs are mandated to pursue public benefits, although they do not receive special tax incentives. Other companies, including Anthropic and xAI, have adopted similar structures, and while becoming a PBC promotes a commitment to mission, it does not guarantee prioritizing this over profit.
