AI must be advanced with knowledge of and respect for humanity’s full spectrum of experiences and perspectives.
Values: These values define what we consider to be the most important things. They guide our decision-making. We believe that channeling these values is the most promising way to achieve our mission.
● Humanity first. Working at OpenAI means being part of a team that is passionate about benefitting people and society through our work. We build AI to elevate humanity.
● Act with humility. Humility reminds us to recognize the limits of our own knowledge and to remain open to new ideas, perspectives, and the possibility of being wrong. This mindset influences our iterative approach to deployment, and the reintegration of feedback into our research.
● Feel the AGI. AGI will be powerful in an unprecedented way, with potential for upside and downside. Building it requires rigor and discipline, boundless imagination, and a deep sense of responsibility. We approach research and product development with respect for the transformative technology we are helping create, and the coupled benefits, changes, risks that come along with it.
● Ship joy. Through our research we develop products that can transform how people live their lives. Our technology reflects an internal culture of optimism for the future and stewardship of our mission.
