In 2015, OpenAI started as a nonprofit with a big goal: to make AI helpful for everyone. But things changed. OpenAI turned into a for-profit company. Now it’s facing backlash from tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. They say this change could set a bad example for startups. Companies might use nonprofit benefits, like tax breaks, to grow and later switch to for-profit models to make more money. This isn’t just unfair—it could also harm trust in nonprofits. Zuckerberg and Musk believe OpenAI is moving away from its original mission to benefit the public. They argue this fight isn’t just about OpenAI—it’s about protecting fairness and ethics in the tech world for everyone. So, what do you think?
