WILMINGTON — Following this morning’s announcement from the Delaware Department of Justice that they’ve reached an agreement with OpenAI to stay a nonprofit, Delaware Governor Matt Meyer issued this statement:

“In the ten years since OpenAI went from a small research lab to a world-changing technology hub, one thing has remained constant: calling Delaware its corporate home. This announcement concludes nearly a year of engagement with the Delaware Department of Justice, ensuring OpenAI remains a non-profit and installs critical safety guardrails around its constantly evolving models. Additionally, OpenAI will establish a public benefit corporation, a cutting-edge Delaware entity that will help balance commercial pressures against the nonprofit’s mission to benefit humanity. I’m proud that OpenAI will continue to call Delaware home, a state that will always prioritize innovation and collaboration for the public good.”
