- OpenAI's mission statement has evolved significantly from 2016 to 2024.
- Originally, OpenAI aimed to advance digital intelligence for humanity's benefit without financial constraints, emphasizing safety and open collaboration.
- By 2018, mentions of open collaboration were removed.
- In 2020, 'as a whole' was dropped from 'benefit humanity'.
- 2021 introduced 'general-purpose artificial intelligence' and shifted focus to OpenAI developing safe AI technology themselves.
- 2022 added 'safely' to 'benefits humanity'.
- 2024 simplified the mission to ensuring AGI benefits 'all of humanity', dropping mentions of safety and financial constraints.
