欢迎光临888集团架构

更新于2023年6月28日

We designed OpenAI’s structure—a partnership between our original Nonprofit and a new capped profit arm—as a chassis for OpenAI’s mission: to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) that is safe and benefits all of humanity.

我们设计了OpenAI的结构——原始非投机机构和新的利润上限子公司之间的合作同伴关系——作为OpenAI使命的框架：构建安全并造福全人类的人为通用智能（AGI）。

We announced our “capped profit” structure in 2019, about three years after founding the original OpenAI Nonprofit.

我们在2019年颁发了欢迎光临888集团“利润上限”结构，这是在成立原始的OpenAI非投机机构约莫三年后。

Since the beginning, we have believed that powerful AI, culminating in AGI—meaning a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work—has the potential to reshape society and bring tremendous benefits, along with risks that must be safely addressed. The increasing capabilities of present day systems mean it’s more important than ever for OpenAI and other AI companies to share the principles, economic mechanisms, and governance models that are core to our respective missions and operations.

从一路头，我们就相信壮大的人为智能，最终实现AGI——指的是一种高度自主的系统，在大无数经济上有价值的工作中胜过人类——有可能沉塑社会，并带来巨大的益处，同时也带来必须安全解决的风险。当今系统日益加强的能力意味着OpenAI和其他人为智能公司更必要分享主题于我们各自使命和运营的准则、经济机造和治理模式。

Overview

概述

We founded the OpenAI Nonprofit in late 2015 with the goal of building safe and beneficial artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity. A project like this might previously have been the provenance of one or multiple governments—a humanity-scale endeavor pursuing broad benefit for humankind.

我们于2015岁暮缔造了OpenAI非投机机构，旨在构建安全有益的人为通用智能，造福人类。像这样的项目以前可能是一个或多个当局的专属领域——一个钻营人类整体利益的人类规模的致力。

Seeing no clear path in the public sector, and given the success of other ambitious projects in private industry (e.g., SpaceX, Cruise, and others), we decided to pursue this project through private means bound by strong commitments to the public good. We initially believed a 501(c)(3) would be the most effective vehicle to direct the development of safe and broadly beneficial AGI while remaining unencumbered by profit incentives. We committed to publishing our research and data in cases where we felt it was safe to do so and would benefit the public.

由于在公共部门看不到明确的路路，并且鉴于私营行业中其他大志勃勃的项目（例如SpaceX、Cruise等）获得了成功，我们决定通过个人蹊径推动这个项目，并受到对社会公益的坚定承诺。最初，我们相信501(c)(3)将是疏导开发安全和宽泛有益的AGI最有效的方式，同时不受盈利激励的限度。我们承诺在我们以为安全并且有利于公家的情况下，公开欢迎光临888集团钻研和数据。

We always suspected that our project would be capital intensive, which is why we launched with the goal of $1 billion in donation commitments. Yet over the years, OpenAI’s Nonprofit received approximately $130.5 million in total donations, which funded the Nonprofit’s operations and its initial exploratory work in deep learning, safety, and alignment.

我们一向疑惑欢迎光临888集团项目将必要大量资金，这就是为什么我们设定了10亿美元的捐赠承诺指标。然而，多年来，OpenAI非投机机构共接管了约1.305亿美元的捐款，赞助了非投机机构的运营以及在深度进建、安全性和对齐方面的初步索求工作。

It became increasingly clear that donations alone would not scale with the cost of computational power and talent required to push core research forward, jeopardizing our mission. So we devised a structure to preserve our Nonprofit’s core mission, governance, and oversight while enabling us to raise the capital for our mission:

这一点越来越明显，仅靠捐款无法满足推动主题钻研所需的推算能力和人才成本，这将危及欢迎光临888集团使命。因而，我们设计了一个结构，以维持我们非投机机构的主题使命、治理和监督，同时使我们可能为使命筹集本钱：

The OpenAI Nonprofit would remain intact, with its board continuing as the overall governing body for all OpenAI activities.

OpenAI非投机机构将维持齐全，其董事会将持续作为OpenAI所有活动的总体治理机构。

A new for-profit subsidiary would be formed, capable of issuing equity to raise capital and hire world class talent, but still at the direction of the Nonprofit. Employees working on for-profit initiatives were transitioned over to the new subsidiary.

（我们）将成立一个新的投机子公司，从而可能刊行股权筹集本钱并礼聘世界一流的人才，但仍在非投机机构的领导下。参加投机建议的员工将过渡到新子公司工作。

The for-profit would be legally bound to pursue the Nonprofit’s mission, and carry out that mission by engaging in research, development, commercialization and other core operations. Throughout, OpenAI’s guiding principles of safety and broad benefit would be central to its approach.

该投机子公司将被司法约束以钻营非投机机构的使命，并通过参加钻延注开发、贸易化和其他主题运营来执行该使命。在整个过程中，OpenAI的安全和宽泛受益的领导准则将成为其步骤的主题。

The for-profit’s equity structure would have caps that limit the maximum financial returns to investors and employees to incentivize them to research, develop, and deploy AGI in a way that balances commerciality with safety and sustainability, rather than focusing on pure profit-maximization.

投机子公司的股权结构将设有上限，限度投资者和员工的最大财政回报，以激励他们以一衷旖衡贸易性与安全性和可持续性的方式钻延注开发和部署AGI，而不是专一于纯正的利润最大化。

The Nonprofit would govern and oversee all such activities through its board in addition to its own operations. It would also continue to undertake a wide range of charitable initiatives, such as sponsoring a comprehensive basic income study, supporting economic impact research, and experimenting with education-centered programs like OpenAI Scholars. Over the years, the Nonprofit also supported 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.

非投机机构将通过其董事会治理和监督所有这些活动，除了自身的运营之表。它还将持续发展各类慈悲建议，例如赞助综合根基收入钻研，支持经济影响钻研，并尝试发展以教育为中心的项目，如OpenAI Scholars。多年来，非投机机构还支持了很多其他专一于技术、经济影响和公正的公共慈悲机构，蕴含斯坦福大学人为智能指数基金、黑人女孩编程和美国公民自由联盟基金会。

In that way, the Nonprofit would remain central to our structure and control the development of AGI, and the for-profit would be tasked with marshaling the resources to achieve this while remaining duty-bound to pursue OpenAI’s core mission. The primacy of the mission above all is encoded in the operating agreement of the for-profit, which every investor and employee is subject to:

通过这种方式，非投机机构将持续成为我们结构的主题，并节造AGI的发展，而投机子公司将掌管调动资源实现这一指标，同时推广钻营OpenAI主题使命的职责。使命高于所有的准则被编码到了投机子公司的经营和谈中，每个投资者和员工都受其约束：

The structure in more detail

该结构的更多细节

While investors typically seek financial returns, we saw a path to aligning their motives with our mission. We achieved this innovation with a few key economic and governance provisions:

投资者通常追求财政回报，但我们看到了一条与我们使命相一致的蹊径。我们通过一些关键的经济和治理条款实现了这一创新：

First, the for-profit subsidiary is fully controlled by the OpenAI Nonprofit. We enacted this by having the Nonprofit wholly own and control a manager entity (OpenAI GP LLC) that has the power to control and govern the for-profit subsidiary.

首先，这家投机子公司齐全由OpenAI非投机机构节造。我们通过让非投机机构齐全占有和节造一个经营实体（OpenAI GP LLC）来实现这一点，这个实体有权节造和治理这家投机子公司。

Second, because the board is still the board of a Nonprofit, each director must perform their fiduciary duties in furtherance of its mission—safe AGI that is broadly beneficial. While the for-profit subsidiary is permitted to make and distribute profit, it is subject to this mission. The Nonprofit’s principal beneficiary is humanity, not OpenAI investors.

其次，由于董事会依然是一个非投机机构的董事会，每位董事都必须推广其受托责任，以推动其使命——创造宽泛有益的安全AGI。固然允许投机子公司盈利和分配利润，但它受造于这一使命。非投机机构的重要受益者是人类，而不是OpenAI的投资者。

Third, the board remains majority independent. Independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. Even OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, does not hold equity directly. His only interest is indirectly through a Y Combinator investment fund that made a small investment in OpenAI before he was full-time.

第三，董事会依然维持独立无数派。独立董事不持有OpenAI的股权。即便OpenAI的CEO Sam Altman也没有直接持有股权。他的唯一利益是间接的，通过Y Combinator投资基金在他全职之前对OpenAI进行的幼额投资。

Fourth, profit allocated to investors and employees, including Microsoft, is capped. All residual value created above and beyond the cap will be returned to the Nonprofit for the benefit of humanity.

第四，分配给投资者和员工（蕴含微软）的利润是有上限的。超过上限的所有渣滓价值将返还给非投机机构，以造福人类。

Fifth, the board determines when we've attained AGI. Again, by AGI we mean a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work. Such a system is excluded from IP licenses and other commercial terms with Microsoft, which only apply to pre-AGI technology.

第五，董事会确定我们何时实现了AGI。这里的AGI指的是一种高度自主的系统，可能在大无数经济上有价值的工作中胜过人类。这样的系统不蕴含在与微软的知识产权许可和其他贸易条款中，这些条款只合用于AGI技术之前的技术。

We strive to preserve these core governance and economic components of our structure when exploring opportunities to accelerate our work. Indeed, given the path to AGI is uncertain, our structure is designed to be adaptable—we believe this is a feature, not a bug.

我们致力在索求加快工作的机遇时维持我们结构的这些主题治理和经济组成部门。事实上，鉴于通向AGI的蹊径是不确定的，欢迎光临888集联结构是设计为拥有适应性的——我们以为这是一种个性，而不是一个缺点。

Microsoft

微软

Shortly after announcing the OpenAI capped profit structure (and our initial round of funding) in 2019, we entered into a strategic partnership with Microsoft. We subsequently extended our partnership, expanding both Microsoft’s total investment as well as the scale and breadth of our commercial and supercomputing collaborations.

在2019年颁发OpenAI利润上限结构（和欢迎光临888集团首轮融资）不久之后，我们与微软达成了战术同伴关系。随后，我们扩大了同伴关系，扩大了微软的总投资规模，以及我们在贸易和超等推算方面的合作的广度和深度。

While our partnership with Microsoft includes a multibillion dollar investment, OpenAI remains an entirely independent company governed by the OpenAI Nonprofit. Microsoft has no board seat and no control. And, as explained above, AGI is explicitly carved out of all commercial and IP licensing agreements.

固然我们与微软的同伴关系蕴含数十亿美元的投资，OpenAI依然是由OpenAI非投机机构治理的齐全独立的公司。微软没有董事席位，也没有节造权。并且，如上所述，AGI已被明确排除在所有贸易和知识产权许可和谈之表。

These arrangements exemplify why we chose Microsoft as our compute and commercial partner. From the beginning, they accepted our capped equity offer and our request to leave AGI technologies and governance for the Nonprofit and the rest of humanity. They have also worked with us to create and refine our joint safety board that reviews our systems before they are deployed. Harkening back to our origins, they understand that this is a unique and ambitious project that requires resources at the scale of the public sector, as well as the very same conscientiousness to share the ultimate results with everyone.

这些铺排展示了为何我们选择微软作为欢迎光临888集团推算和贸易合作同伴。从一路头，他们接受了欢迎光临888集团股权上限提议，并赞成欢迎光临888集团要求，将AGI技术和治理留给非投机机构和其他人类。他们还与我们合作创建和美满了欢迎光临888集团结合安全委员会，审查欢迎光临888集团系统在部署之前；厮莼队饬888集团发源，他们理解这是一个怪异而大志勃勃的项目，必要像公共部门一样的资源规模，以及与所有人分享最终成就的同样良知。
