The Company That Asked to Be Trusted
OpenAI began in 2015 as a research laboratory with an unusual promise. It would build powerful artificial intelligence, and it would do so for the benefit of humanity rather than for a narrow set of owners.

The distance between that founding sentence and the present docket is the story.
