Openaai has appointed Labor leader Dolores Huerta and three more into a transient consulting committee that will aid to guide the philanthropy of the artificial intelligence company in order to turn into a profit-oriented business.
Huerta, who turned 95 last week, founded the first agricultural work union with Cesar Chavez in the early 1960s and will now have a say in philanthropic initiatives that Openaai says that they will see “both the promise and the risk of AI”.
The group will only have 90 days to make their suggestions.
“It recognizes the importance of AI in today’s world and everyone who has been aware of in the past 50 years knows that she will be a strength in this conversation,” said Daniel Zingale, the convener of the recent non -profit commission of Openai and former advisor of three governors in California.
Huertas Council will not be binding, but the presence of a social activist -icon could be influential, since the CEO of Openaai, Sam Altman, tries to restructure the company’s corporate management in San Francisco, which requires the approval of the Californian Attorney General and others.
Another coalition of work leaders and non -profit organizations recently requested a democrat of General Prosecutor Rob Bonta to examine Openai, to cease the proposed conversion and to “protect billions of dollars that are threatened as a profit -oriented hunger for conflicting power”.
Openaai, the Chatgpt manufacturer, began in 2015 as a non -profit research laboratory, which is devoted to the protected building of a better AI that benefits humanity.
Later it formed a profit -oriented arm and changed most of its employees there, but is still checked by a non -profit board of directors. However, it now tries to better transform into a non-profit company, but looks a number of hurdles, including the approval of California and Delaware lawyers, the inexpensive assets of the non-profit organization and the fight against a complaint from the co-founder and early investors Elon Musk.
Openaai, supported by the Japanese Tech -Riese Softbank, said last month that it was a financing of $ 40 billion and attached its value to 300 billion US dollars.
Huerta will take part in the recent advisory commission by the former Spanish -speaking media manager Monica Lozano. Robert Ross, the recently retired president of the California Foundation; And Jack Oliver, a lawyer and a long -standing fundraiser for Republican campaigns. Zingale, the convener of the group, is a former advisor of governors in California, including the Democrat Gavin Newsom and the Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“We are interested in how they bring the power of AI into the hands of everyday people and the community organizations that serve them,” said Zingale in an interview on Wednesday. “Because if AI wants to bring a renaissance or a dark age, these are the people they want to put on the scale in favor of mankind.”
