About OpenAI Forum

The OpenAI Forum is a new initiative that brings together domain experts and students to discuss and collaborate on the present and future of AI. The Forum features events such as in-person meet-ups highlighting technical talks, dinner-mixers at OpenAI, educational webinars and expert roundtable conversations, and plenty of opportunity for members (including OpenAI researchers) to network and cross pollinate ideas. Forum programming will be co-created by community members, and facilitated by OpenAI.
The OpenAI Forum community aims to build an ecosystem of collaborators that help us achieve our mission of building AGI that benefits all of humanity.

FAQ

What is OpenAI’s mission?

OpenAI's mission is to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.

What is AGI?

By artificial general intelligence (AGI), we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.

Why are you creating the OpenAI Forum community?

OpenAI created this community as a means to invite accomplished researchers, professors, and practitioners working across disciplines and domains the opportunity to contribute to the discourse that is shaping the future of AGI.

We wanted to create an ecosystem where people external to OpenAI (non technologists, and technologists), and the OpenAI team, had the ability to forge connections and engage in collaboration more fluidly. Creating AGI that benefits all of humanity will require broad participation from stakeholders with different backgrounds. We see the OpenAI Forum community as just one vehicle among many that will lower existing barriers that exist across discipline and domain.

Provide a platform for experts working at the intersection of multiple disciplines and AI to share their work with a broader community.
