Sites Reuters and Bloomberg reported that Elon Musk became co-chairman and co-sponsored non-profit organization OpenAI, which will spend the next five years on developments in the field of artificial intelligence at least one billion dollars. In addition to the mask, contribution to a good cause are willing to share one of the founders of PayPal, Peter Thiel and one of the founders of LinkedIn Reid Hoffman . There were supporters of the fund in the face of corporate sponsors - Amazon and Infosys. The organization does not seek to extract material benefits, and this distinguishes it from those companies that maintain their own development in this area with a view to future commercial use. OpenAI Charter specifies that "the benefit of all mankind" above private interests.
Apparently, Elon Musk decided to at least partially control the development of artificial intelligence technologies to prevent their use to the detriment of mankind. As consultants OpenAI going to attract leading experts in artificial intelligence, and the fruits of their research organization is willing to share with anyone who intends to use them for the benefit of mankind.
