According to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman told employees that he would no longer fulfill his previous promise to donate millions of dollars to a political group. The political group's main job is to promote the election of members of the National Assembly supporting artificial intelligence policies. In September of last year, Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to an organization called “Leading the Future” and promised an additional $25 million in 2026. Brockman said at the time that the donation was made entirely in a personal name. However, OpenAI employees criticized this, believing that the move was an attempt by senior company executives to block the introduction of reasonable artificial intelligence regulatory policies. In June of this year, in a Slack message to OpenAI employees, Brockman acknowledged that his donation caused unnecessary disruptions and stated that he and his wife did not plan to continue redeeming the second donation.
