Message from Sam to the company

Sam致公司的公开信

I am returning to OpenAI as CEO. Mira will return to her role as CTO. The new initial board will consist of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo. 

我将重返 OpenAI 担任首席执行官。Mira 将重新担任首席技术官。Bret Taylor（主席）、Larry Summers 和 Adam D'Angelo 将组成新一届董事会。

I have never been more excited about the future. I am extremely grateful for everyone’s hard work in an unclear and unprecedented situation, and I believe our resilience and spirit set us apart in the industry. I feel so, so good about our probability of success for achieving our mission. 

对于未来，我从未像现在这样兴奋。非常感谢大家在前路未卜的情况下依然努力工作，我相信正是这股韧劲和精神使我们在行业中脱颖而出。我深感我们定能完成使命。

Before getting to what comes next, I’d like to share some thanks.

在开始分享之前，我想首先表示一下感谢。

I love and respect Ilya, I think he's a guiding light of the field and a gem of a human being. I harbor zero ill will towards him. While Ilya will no longer serve on the board, we hope to continue our working relationship and are discussing how he can continue his work at OpenAI. 

我喜爱并尊重Ilya，我觉得他是这个领域的指路明灯，也是人类的瑰宝。我对他毫无恶意。虽然 Ilya 将不再在董事会任职，我们仍然希望能继续在一起工作，我们也正在讨论他在 OpenAI 的下一步工作。

I am grateful to Adam, Tasha, and Helen for working with us to come to this solution that best serves the mission. I’m excited to continue to work with Adam and am sincerely thankful to Helen and Tasha for investing a huge amount of effort in this process. 

非常感谢 Adam、Tasha 和 Helen 与我们合作，一起提出了最佳任务解决方案。很高兴能继续与Adam合作，并衷心感谢Tasha 和 Helen在这个过程中投入了大量的精力。

Thank you also to Emmett who had a key and constructive role in helping us reach this outcome. Emmett’s dedication to AI safety and balancing stakeholders’ interests was clear. 

还要感谢Emmett，他在帮助我们取得这一成果上起到了举足轻重的作用。Emmett在人工智能安全、平衡利益相关者的利益方面做出了突出贡献。

Mira did an amazing job throughout all of this, serving the mission, the team, and the company selflessly throughout. She is an incredible leader and OpenAI would not be OpenAI without her. Thank you. 

Mira在整个过程中都表现得非常出色，她自始至终无私地为这项任务、整个团队和公司服务。她是一位了不起的领导者，没有她，OpenAI 就不会成为 OpenAI。谢谢。

Greg and I are partners in running this company. We have never quite figured out how to communicate that on the org chart, but we will. In the meantime, I just wanted to make it clear. Thank you for everything you have done since the very beginning, and for how you handled things from the moment this started and over the last week. 

Greg和我共同经营这家公司。我们还不清楚如何在组织架构图上体现这一点，但我们会明晰的，我也试图在弄得更清楚。感谢Greg从始至终所做的一切，包括你刚入手时直到上周对这些事情的处理。

The leadership team–Mira, Brad, Jason, Che, Hannah, Diane, Anna, Bob, Srinivas, Matt, Lilian, Miles, Jan, Wojciech, John, Jonathan, Pat, and many more–is clearly ready to run the company without me. They say one way to evaluate a CEO is how you pick and train your potential successors; on that metric I am doing far better than I realized. It’s clear to me that the company is in great hands, and I hope this is abundantly clear to everyone. Thank you all. 

感谢领导团队——Mira、Brad、Jason、Che、Hannah、Diane、Anna、Bob、Srinivas、Matt、Lilian、Miles、Jan、Wojciech、John、Jonathan、Pat等等，显然大家已经准备好在我不在的情况下经营公司。他们说，评估CEO的一种方式是你如何挑选和培训你的潜在继任者；在这一点上，我做得比我想象的要好很多。我很清楚，公司在这些人手中会运转良好，我希望每个人都能清楚地知道这一点。谢谢你们。

Jakub, Szymon, and Aleksander are exceptional talents and I’m so happy they have rejoined to move us and our research forward. Thank you. 

Jakub、Szymon和Aleksander都是杰出的人才，我很高兴他们重新加入，推动我们和我们的研究向前发展。谢谢。

To all of you, our team: I am sure books are going to be written about this time period, and I hope the first thing they say is how amazing the entire team has been. Now that we’re through all of this, we didn’t lose a single employee. You stood firm for each other, this company, and our mission. One of the most important things for the team that builds AGI safely is the ability to handle stressful and uncertain situations, and maintain good judgment throughout. Top marks. Thank you all. 

对你们所有人，我们的团队：我相信这个时期发生的事情，会有人诉诸笔墨。我希望他们说的第一件事是：整个团队是多么了不起。现在我们已经共同经历了这一切，我们没有失去任何一个员工。你们坚定地支持彼此、这家公司和我们的使命。对于安全构建 AGI 的团队来说，能够处理压力和不确定的情况，并始终保持良好的判断力是至关重要的。每个人应该给自己打最高分。谢谢你们。

Satya, Kevin, Amy, and Brad have been incredible partners throughout this, with exactly the right priorities all the way through. They’ve had our backs and were ready to welcome all of us if we couldn’t achieve our primary goal. We clearly made the right choice to partner with Microsoft and I’m excited that our new board will include them as a non-voting observer. Thank you.

Satya、Kevin、Amy 和 Brad 一直是非常出色的合作伙伴，自始至终都能优先处理重要事项。他们一直支持我们，如果我们不能实现我们的主要目标，他们会欢迎我们所有人。我们显然做出了与Microsoft合作的正确选择，我很高兴我们的新董事会把他们列为无投票权的观察员。谢谢。

To our partners and users, thank you for sticking with us. We really felt the outpouring of support and love, and it helped all of us get through this. The fact that we did not lose a single customer will drive us to work even harder for you, and we are all excited to get back to work. 

感谢我们的合作伙伴和用户，谢谢你们一直以来的支持。我们真的感受到了源源不断的支持和爱，它帮助我们所有人渡过了难关。我们没有失去任何一个客户——这将促使我们更加努力地为你们服务，我们很高兴能重返工作岗位。

Will Hurd, Brian Chesky, Bret Taylor and Larry Summers put their lives on hold and did an incredible amount to support the mission. I don’t know how they did it so well, but they really did. Thank you.

Will Hurd、Brian Chesky、Bret Taylor和Larry Summers放弃了自己的私人生活，为支持这项任务做了大量工作。我不知道他们是怎么做到这么好的，但他们真的做到了。谢谢。

Ollie also put his life on hold this entire time to just do everything he could to help out, in addition to providing his usual unconditional love and support. Thank you and I love you. 

Ollie也放下了自己的生活，除了时常提供无条件的爱和支持外，还尽其所能提供其他帮助。谢谢你，我爱你。

So what’s next?  

我们下一步要做什么？

We have three immediate priorities. 

我们有三个当务之急。

Advancing our research plan and further investing in our full-stack safety efforts, which have always been critical to our work. Our research roadmap is clear; this was a wonderfully focusing time. I share the excitement you all feel; we will turn this crisis into an opportunity! I’ll work with Mira on this. 

首先是推进我们的研究计划，并进一步投资于我们的全栈安全工作，这一直是我们工作的关键所在。我们的研究路线图非常清晰。这段时间我们专注工作的好时机。我和你们一样感到兴奋；我们将把这场危机变成机遇！我将和Mira共同努力。

Continuing to improve and deploy our products and serve our customers. It’s important that people get to experience the benefits and promise of AI, and have the opportunity to shape it. We continue to believe that great products are the best way to do this. I’ll work with Brad, Jason and Anna to ensure our unwavering commitment to users, customers, partners and governments around the world is clear. 

不断改进和部署我们的产品，为客户服务。重要的是，人们要体验人工智能的好处和前景，并有机会塑造它。我们仍然相信，伟大的产品是实现这一目标的最佳方式。我将与 Brad、Jason 和 Anna 合作，确保我们对全球用户、客户、合作伙伴和政府的承诺坚定不移。

Bret, Larry, and Adam will be working very hard on the extremely important task of building out a board of diverse perspectives, improving our governance structure and overseeing an independent review of recent events. I look forward to working closely with them on these crucial steps so everyone can be confident in the stability of OpenAI.

Bret、Larry和Adam将致力于完成一项极其重要的任务，即建立一个拥有不同观点的董事会，改善我们的治理结构，并对最近事件进行独立审查和监督。我期待在这些关键步骤上与他们密切合作，以便每个人都能对 OpenAI 的稳定性充满信心。

I am so looking forward to finishing the job of building beneficial AGI with you all—best team in the world, best mission in the world.

我非常期待与你们一起完成建立有益的AGI的工作——世界上最好的团队，世界上最好的使命。

Love, Sam

爱你们的Sam

Message from Bret to the company

董事Bret致公司的公开信

On behalf of the OpenAI Board, I want to express our gratitude to the entire OpenAI community, especially all the OpenAI employees, who came together to help find a path forward for the company over the past week. Your efforts helped enable this incredible organization to continue to serve its mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. We are thrilled that Sam, Mira and Greg are back together leading the company and driving it forward. We look forward to working with them and all of you.

我谨代表OpenAI董事会向整个OpenAI社区表示感谢，尤其是所有 OpenAI员工，他们在过去一周齐心协力帮助公司找到前进的道路。你们的努力使这家了不起的组织继续履行使命，确保通用人工智能造福全人类。我们很高兴Sam、Mira和Greg再次合作，领导公司并推动公司向前发展。我们期待与他们，以及你们所有人合作。

As a Board, we are focused on strengthening OpenAI’s corporate governance. Here’s how we plan to do it:

作为董事会，我们将专注于加强 OpenAI 的公司治理。以下是我们的计划：

• We will build a qualified, diverse Board of exceptional individuals whose collective experience represents the breadth of OpenAI’s mission – from technology to safety to policy. We are pleased that this Board will include a non-voting observer for Microsoft.

  我们将建立一个资深的、多元化的董事会，由优秀成员组成，他们的集体经验代表了 OpenAI 使命的广度——从技术到安全再到政策。我们很高兴本届董事会将包括一名来自Microsoft 的无表决权观察员。

• We will further stabilize the OpenAI organization so that we can continue to serve our mission.  This will include convening an independent committee of the Board to oversee a review of the recent events.

  我们将进一步稳定 OpenAI 组织，以便我们能够继续履行我们的使命，包括召集一个独立的董事委员会来监督对最近事件的审查。

• We will enhance the governance structure of OpenAI so that all stakeholders – users, customers, employees, partners, and community members – can trust that OpenAI will continue to thrive.

  我们将加强 OpenAI 的治理结构，以便所有利益相关者——用户、客户、员工、合作伙伴和社区成员，都可以相信 OpenAI 将继续蓬勃发展。

OpenAI is a more important institution than ever before. ChatGPT has made artificial intelligence a part of daily life for hundreds of millions of people. Its popularity has made AI – its benefits and its risks – central to virtually every conversation about the future of governments, business, and society.

OpenAI 是一个比以往任何时候都更重要的机构。ChatGPT已经让人工智能成为数亿人日常生活的一部分。它的普及使人工智能，无论是它的好处还是风险，成为几乎所有关于政府、企业和社会未来的对话核心。

We understand the gravity of these discussions and the central role of OpenAI in the development and safety of these awe-inspiring new technologies. Each of you plays a critical part in ensuring that we effectively meet these challenges.  We are committed to listening and learning from you, and I hope to speak with you all very soon.

我们了解这些讨论的严重性，以及 OpenAI 在这些令人敬畏的新技术的开发和安全中的核心作用。你们每个人都在确保我们有效应对这些挑战方面发挥着关键作用。我们致力于倾听你们的意见，向你们学习，我希望很快能与你们所有人交谈。

We are grateful to be a part of OpenAI, and excited to work with all of you.

我们很感激能成为 OpenAI 的一员，也很高兴能与大家合作。

Thank you,
Bret Taylor
Chair, OpenAI

谢谢！
