OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a joint initiative of Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Wojciech Zaremba, Ilya Sutskever, and John Schulman. The mission was simple but ambitious — to develop safe and open AI tools that empower not destroy people.
“OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence AGI — by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans in the tasks of greatest economic value — benefits all of humanity.”

Since then, the company has launched an impressive array spain mobile database of tools, including DALL·E, an AI image generator, and CodexAI, which powers GitHub’s coding suggestion tool CoPilot.
But all of this is just the appetizer.
Last year, OpenAI became the hottest brand in tech with ChatGPT, a powerful and unnerving chat-like AI tool based on the company’s flagship GPT-3 model. Contrary to naysayers, it proved to be more than just autocomplete on steroids.
So, let’s go back in time and see where it all began.

It's simple. Add a little magic, sprinkle some fairy dust, and a lot of caffeine from computer scientists and engineers who pulled all-nighters.
OK, the answer is a little more complicated than that.
