Under OpenAI’s current nonprofit structure, there is a cap on the returns that its backers can realize. Additionally, investors reportedly had to sign an agreement that states it “would be wise to view any investment in [OpenAI’s for-profit subsidiary] in the spirit of a donation.”

OpenAI has laid out plans to become a for-profit company. In a blog post published on Friday, OpenAI’s board said it will replace the company’s existing structure with one that puts control into the hands of its for-profit arm.
