The California attorney general's office said, "This remains an ongoing matter — and we are in continued conversations with Open AI."

The article from Fortune, dated May 5, 2025, discusses the evolving structure of OpenAI, highlighting the tension between its nonprofit origins and its current for-profit operations.
