OpenAI, established in 2015 with the mission of ensuring artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity, has rapidly become a dominant force in AI development. Initially a non-profit, it shifted to a capped-profit model to secure necessary funding, leading to significant advancements in generative AI. Their portfolio includes groundbreaking technologies like the GPT series, powering the widely used ChatGPT, and DALL-E, which generates images from text. More recently they have released Sora which creates video from text prompts. Fueled by a strong partnership with Microsoft, OpenAI continues to push the boundaries of AI, while also navigating the complex ethical considerations that arise from its powerful technologies.
