The mission statement reads, in part:

> We’re hoping to grow OpenAI into such an institution. As a non-profit, our aim is to build value for everyone rather than shareholders. Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world. We’ll freely collaborate with others across many institutions and expect to work with companies to research and deploy new technologies.

I have no idea if they live up to this but "GPT-2 is too dangerous to release" crackpottery suggests they at least sometimes don't.




That mission statement has been abandoned. OpenAI restructured as a for-profit corporation several months ago.
