History

Historical Context

In 2015 Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others founded OpenAI as a nonprofit, pledging $1 billion for safe AI. By 2019 the lab had raised $130 million of that pledge, and Microsoft’s multi-billion investment cemented a public-private partnership that set industry norms. The September 29 White House pact with Anthropic, Alphabet and others, and Trump’s “Super Intelligence” label, echo those early safety commitments.
