OpenAI develops artificial intelligence technologies aimed at benefiting humanity. The company creates advanced AI models that can perform various tasks, such as automating processes and enhancing creativity. OpenAI's products, like Sora, allow users to generate videos from text descriptions, showcasing the capabilities of their AI systems. Unlike many competitors, OpenAI operates under a capped profit model, which limits the profits it can make and redistributes excess earnings to maximize the social benefits of AI. This commitment to safety and ethical considerations is central to its mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is developed responsibly. OpenAI serves a wide range of clients, including businesses and researchers, and collaborates with academic institutions and government bodies to address the risks associated with advanced AI technologies.
