OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit; its mission is to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.

AI resilience aims to ensure the same is true for AI: that a technology so powerful can, in the future, be as safe as flipping a light switch.

This work requires the combined effort of many people and organizations.

We’ve already begun funding them, and will be investing much more in the coming months.

AI is advancing quickly. Society’s ability to manage its risks must advance just as fast.

Today we’re sharing our vision for AI Resilience, with more than $130M in initial grants underway across bio-resilience, cyber-resilience, AI model safety, and AI’s impact on young people: https://t.co/mXwqzIYAPm

Every general-purpose technology was risky before it was infrastructure.

Fire burned cities to the ground. Electricity electrocuted workers and cities considered abandoning the technology.

But we didn't: Instead, we invested in safeguards and built ecosystems that made it so anyone, anywhere could use them.

AI is likely to reshape the economy in profound ways, creating both challenges to navigate and opportunities to improve people’s lives.

Today, the OpenAI Foundation is announcing an initial $250M commitment to building secure and abundant economic futures in the age of AI.

We’ll focus on measurement and forecasting, supporting communities navigating transition, and long-term economic security, including new approaches to ensuring AI’s value is shared broadly.

AI creates real opportunities for young people to learn and grow. It also needs to be safe, trustworthy, and appropriate for different stages of development.

The OpenAI Foundation is proud to support @CommonSense’s new Youth AI Safety Institute, which brings independent testing, clear standards, and transparency to AI used by young people.

Alzheimer’s is one of the most devastating diseases, killing ~2 million people globally each year and costing over $1 trillion annually. It also remains one of the hardest unsolved problems in medicine.

We believe advanced AI can help change that: https://t.co/91VYoJChZ0
