'''OpenAI''' is a non-profit [[artificial intelligence]] (AI) research company, associated with business magnate [[Elon Musk]], that aims to carefully promote and develop [[open-source software|open-source]] [[Friendly artificial intelligence|friendly AI]] in such a way as to benefit, rather than harm, humanity as a whole. The organization aims to "freely collaborate" with other institutions<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.popsci.com/new-openai-artificial-intelligence-group-formed-by-elon-musk-peter-thiel-and-more |title=New ‘OpenAI’ Artificial Intelligence Group Formed By Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, And More |first1=Dave |last1=Gershgorn |date=December 11, 2015 |publisher=''[[Popular Science]]'' |access-date=December 12, 2015 }}</ref> and researchers by making its patents and research open to the public.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Lewontin|first1=Max|title=Open AI: Effort to democratize artificial intelligence research?|url=http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2015/1214/Open-AI-Effort-to-democratize-artificial-intelligence-research|accessdate=19 December 2015|work=[[The Christian Science Monitor]]|date=14 December 2015}}</ref> The company is supported by over US$1 billion in commitments; however, only a tiny fraction of the $1 billion pledged is expected to be spent in the first few years.<ref name=bbc-giants/> Many of the employees and board members are motivated by concerns about [[existential risk from advanced artificial intelligence]].

 

Some scientists, such as [[Stephen Hawking]], controversially believe that if advanced AI someday gains the ability to re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate, an unstoppable "[[intelligence explosion]]" could lead to human extinction. Business magnate Elon Musk characterizes AI as humanity's biggest [[existential threat]]. OpenAI's founders structured it as a non-profit free of financial stockholder obligations, so that they could focus its research on creating a positive long-term human impact.<ref name=bbc-giants>{{cite news|title=Tech giants pledge $1bn for 'altruistic AI' venture, OpenAI|url=http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35082344|accessdate=19 December 2015|publisher=[[BBC News]]|date=12 December 2015}}</ref>
