It interesting that their project is called OpenAI while both Facebook and Google open sourced AI algorithms in the last month and a half.

Neither Google nor Facebook seems to be in the OpenAI list but Amazon Web Services does.

Infosys as the second largest Indian IT company is also an interesting part of the list of funders. There an article from yesterday about forming a new company strategy that involves relying heavily on AI.

I expect OpenAI to actually develop software in a way that MIRI doesn't.
