Sam给公司的信息

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CTO。新的初始董事会将由Bret Taylor（主席）、Larry Summers和Adam D'Angelo组成。

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.

我对未来感到前所未有的兴奋。我非常感谢每个人在一个不明确和前所未有的情况下所做的辛勤工作，我相信我们的韧性和精神使我们在行业中脱颖而出。我对我们成功完成使命的可能性感到非常非常好。

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

在谈到下一步之前，我想和大家分享一些感谢。

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.

我爱并尊重伊利亚，我认为他是这个领域的指路明灯，是人类的瑰宝。我对他没有恶意。虽然伊利亚将不再担任董事会成员，但我们希望继续我们的工作关系，并正在讨论他如何继续在OpenAI的工作。

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.

我感谢Adam、Tasha和Helen与我们合作，找到了最符合使命的解决方案。我很高兴能继续与Adam合作，并衷心感谢Helen和Tasha在这一过程中投入了大量精力。

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.

也感谢埃米特，他在帮助我们取得这一成果方面发挥了关键和建设性的作用。埃米特致力于人工智能安全和平衡利益相关者的利益是显而易见的。

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.

米拉在这一切中做得非常出色，无私地为使命、团队和公司服务。她是一位令人难以置信的领导者，如果没有她，OpenAI就不会成为OpenAI。非常感谢。

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.

格雷格和我是经营这家公司的合伙人。我们从未完全弄清楚如何在组织结构图上传达这一点，但我们会的。与此同时，我只是想说清楚。感谢你从一开始所做的一切，感谢你从开始到上周处理事情的方式。

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.

领导团队——Mira、Brad、Jason、Che、Hannah、Diane、Anna、Bob、Srinivas、Matt、Lilian、Miles、Jan、Wojciech、John、Jonathan、Pat等等——显然已经做好了在没有我的情况下经营公司的准备。他们说，评估首席执行官的一种方法是如何挑选和培训潜在的继任者；在这个标准上，我做得比我意识到的要好得多。我很清楚，公司掌握在伟大的手中，我希望每个人都非常清楚这一点。谢谢大家。

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。非常感谢。

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.

对于你们所有人，我们的团队：我相信会有关于这段时间的书，我希望他们首先说的是整个团队是多么的了不起。现在我们经历了这一切，我们没有失去一名员工。你们坚定地支持彼此，支持这家公司，支持我们的使命。对于安全构建AGI的团队来说，最重要的事情之一是能够处理压力和不确定的情况，并在整个过程中保持良好的判断力。高分。谢谢大家。

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.

萨蒂亚、凯文、艾米和布拉德在整个过程中都是令人难以置信的合作伙伴，自始至终都有正确的优先事项。他们支持我们，如果我们不能实现我们的首要目标，他们会欢迎我们所有人。我们显然做出了与微软合作的正确选择，我很高兴我们的新董事会将他们作为无投票权的观察员。非常感谢。

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.

对于我们的合作伙伴和用户，感谢你们一直支持我们。我们真的感受到了源源不断的支持和爱，它帮助我们所有人度过了难关。事实上，我们没有失去一个客户，这将驱使我们为您更加努力地工作，我们都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.

威尔·赫德（Will Hurd）、布莱恩·切斯基（Brian Chesky）、布雷特·泰勒（Bret Taylor）和拉里·萨默斯（Larry Summers。我不知道他们是怎么做到这么好的，但他们确实做到了。非常感谢。

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.

奥利在这段时间里也暂停了自己的生活，除了提供他通常无条件的爱和支持外，他还尽一切努力帮助别人。谢谢你，我爱你。

So what’s next?

那么接下来是什么呢？

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.

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，这对我们的工作一直至关重要。我们的研究路线图很清晰；这是一个非常专注的时刻。我和大家一样感到兴奋；我们将把这场危机转化为机遇！我会和米拉合作的。

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.

继续改进和部署我们的产品，为客户服务。重要的是，人们能够体验到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，确保我们对世界各地的用户、客户、合作伙伴和政府的坚定承诺是明确的。

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将非常努力地完成一项极其重要的任务，即建立一个具有不同观点的董事会，改善我们的治理结构，并监督对最近事件的独立审查。我期待着在这些关键步骤上与他们密切合作，这样每个人都可以对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.

我非常期待与大家一起完成构建有益AGI的工作——世界上最好的团队，世界上最好任务。

Love,

爱

Sam
