OpenAI, the San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research group co-founded by Elon Musk and several other prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, is starting a for-profit arm that will allow it to raise more money.
The group, which had been founded as a nonprofit company in late 2015, said the new for-profit arm is needed to attract venture capital and reward employees with stock options.
