Description

Join us for the next California Policy Forum webinar as we discuss the implications of OpenAI’s corporate restructuring. OpenAI is the largest nonprofit in the world, with a valuation of at least $500 billion and an important mission of harnessing the power of AI for the benefit of humanity. But OpenAI has strayed from its charitable purpose. We’ll break down the company’s recent governance changes and restructuring plans to uncover what’s really at stake for Californians, the nonprofit sector, and philanthropy. This isn’t just about corporate maneuvers; it’s about the potential ripple effects if OpenAI abandons its founding charitable mission. We’ll explore how this shift could impact the equitable development of AI and its benefits for the public good.  Our distinguished panel will explore the legal and civic fallout of the restructuring, from investigations and warnings issued by California and Delaware Attorneys General to grassroots calls for accountability.

Speakers will include:

• Orson Aguilar, Founding President and CEO, LatinoProsperity
• Judith Bell, Chief Impact officer, San Francisco Foundation
• Catherine Bracy, CEO, TechEquity
• Pete Manzo, President and CEO, United Ways of California
