最新公布的納稅申報文件顯示,OpenAI首席執(zhí)行官薩姆?奧爾特曼去年的薪酬僅為76,001美元,比2022年的73,546美元略有增加。
盡管奧爾特曼的個人凈資產(chǎn)至少為20億美元,但他此前表示,其薪酬僅為“覆蓋最低醫(yī)療保險的水平”,并多次聲明他不持有OpenAI的股權(quán)。然而,據(jù)彭博社報道,OpenAI正考慮轉(zhuǎn)型為營利性企業(yè),并討論給予奧爾特曼一定的股權(quán)。OpenAI總部位于舊金山。
美國非營利組織每年需向國稅局提交的申報文件中披露了奧爾特曼的工資。2023年的信息披露覆蓋了OpenAI及監(jiān)督該公司的非營利組織的動蕩時期。2023年年初,OpenAI的聊天機器人ChatGPT迅速走紅;年末,奧爾特曼因與董事會意見不合而短暫離職。
申報文件顯示,OpenAI聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼前首席科學(xué)家伊利亞·蘇茨克維在2023年的薪酬為322,201美元,這是文件所披露的高管中的最高薪酬。蘇茨克維在奧爾特曼被解職事件中扮演了關(guān)鍵角色,并于今年5月從公司離職。Twitch聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人埃米特·希爾在薩姆·奧爾特曼(Sam Altman)被解職期間擔(dān)任臨時首席執(zhí)行官,薪酬為3,720美元。盡管希爾的任期似乎僅持續(xù)了約三天,但文件顯示他的薪酬從11月19日到11月29日計算,平均每天338.18美元,包括周末。
然而,有些高管的總薪酬可能遠高于所披露的數(shù)字。納稅申報文件未包含OpenAI高管可能獲得的任何基于股權(quán)的報酬,而隨著公司估值的飆升,這部分報酬可能相當可觀。此外,文件也未披露風(fēng)險投資者對OpenAI營利性實體的外部投資情況。
由于報告滯后以及相關(guān)企業(yè)眾多,外界對OpenAI的財務(wù)狀況了解有限。該非營利組織列出了多個合伙公司和關(guān)聯(lián)實體,包括負責(zé)員工和投資者股權(quán)的Aestas有限責(zé)任公司。
文件顯示,OpenAI的非營利組織在2023年獲得了500萬美元的公眾捐款,但未披露資金來源。截至2023年底,該非營利組織的凈資產(chǎn)超過2,100萬美元。相比之下,OpenAI在2024年10月融資66億美元,用于繼續(xù)開發(fā)強大的人工智能產(chǎn)品。
文件顯示,OpenAI 去年擴展了其慈善捐助的范圍,不再局限于與奧爾特曼關(guān)聯(lián)的全民基本收入項目。它資助了紐約大學(xué)(New York University)的倫理與新聞學(xué)研究項目,并支持亞特蘭大非營利組織 Operation Hope 研究人工智能在經(jīng)濟領(lǐng)域的機會。
據(jù)OpenAI透露,該公司還提供資金,支持“建立民主程序,用于決定人工智能系統(tǒng)應(yīng)遵循的規(guī)則”的相關(guān)實驗。這些資助對象包括哈佛學(xué)院(Harvard College)、華盛頓大學(xué)(University of Washington)、密歇根大學(xué)(University of Michigan)等美國機構(gòu),以及一位東亞地區(qū)的受贈者。
OpenAI 發(fā)言人在聲明中表示:“作為公司章程的一部分,我們致力于與全球研究和政策機構(gòu)合作,共同應(yīng)對通用人工智能帶來的挑戰(zhàn),并通過增加資助支持實現(xiàn)這一目標。”(財富中文網(wǎng))

OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman received a modest $76,001 in compensation last year, up slightly from $73,546 in 2022, a newly released tax filing shows.
Altman, who is worth at least $2 billion, has previously said he gets paid “whatever the minimum for health insurance is.” He has also repeatedly said he does not own equity in OpenAI. However, the San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup has discussed giving him a stake as part of a possible shift to becoming a for-profit business, Bloomberg reported.
Altman’s paycheck was included in a filing that US-based nonprofits are required to submit annually to the Internal Revenue Service. The 2023 disclosure covers a tumultuous period for OpenAI and the nonprofit that oversees it. The year started with the skyrocketing popularity of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT and ended with Altman’s brief ouster after clashing with the board.
OpenAI’s co-founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who played a key role in firing Altman and left the company in May, received $322,201 in 2023, making him one of the highest paid officers listed on the form. Emmett Shear, the co-founder of Twitch who served as interim CEO during Altman’s ouster, was paid $3,720, according to the filing. Though Shear’s tenure appeared to last for about three days, the filing said he was paid from Nov. 19 to Nov. 29, which would be $338.18 per day, including weekends.
The total compensation could be much higher for some executives, however. The tax filing does not include any equity-based compensation that OpenAI’s named officers may have received as the company’s valuation has soared. It also doesn’t disclose any outside investment from venture capitalists into OpenAI’s for-profit entities.
There is only limited visibility into OpenAI’s financials given the lag in reporting and the number of companies that are related to its business. The nonprofit lists several partnership companies and related entities, including Aestas LLC, which oversees employee and investor equity.
According to the filing, OpenAI’s nonprofit received $5 million in public contributions in 2023, but the source of the funding wasn’t disclosed. The nonprofit ended 2023 with net assets of more than $21 million — a tiny sum compared to the $6.6 billion the company raised in October to support its efforts to keep building powerful AI products.
Last year, OpenAI expanded its charitable giving beyond universal basic income projects linked to Altman, according to the filing. It funded an ethics and journalism grant at New York University as well as research into AI economic opportunity through Atlanta-based nonprofit Operation Hope.
OpenAI also provided financial support for experiments “in setting up a democratic process for deciding what rules AI systems should follow,” the company said. The grants went to US institutions such as Harvard College, the University of Washington and the University of Michigan, along with a recipient in East Asia.
“As part of our charter, we’re committed to collaborating globally with research and policy institutions to address AGI’s challenges, and increased grants support this mission,” an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement.
