OpenAI warns against SPVs and other ‘unauthorized’ investments

OpenAI, the prominent artificial intelligence research company, has issued a warning against unauthorized investments, particularly those involving special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The company has expressed concerns about individuals or entities attempting to create SPVs or other investment structures without OpenAI's knowledge or consent. In a statement, OpenAI emphasized that it has not authorized any SPVs or other investment vehicles related to its company or its research. The company cautioned the public to be wary of any such offerings, as they may not be legitimate or sanctioned by OpenAI. The move by OpenAI is part of a broader effort by AI companies to maintain control over their intellectual property and research. As the field of AI continues to attract significant investment and interest, companies are seeking to ensure that any financial arrangements or investments are properly vetted and authorized.
