OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research organization based in Delaware, as well as its for-profit subsidiary, OpenAI Global, LLC. Let’s find out who the members of the OpenAI board are in this article.
Greg Brockman
Greg Brockman is an American software developer, investor, and businessman who is one of OpenAI’s co-founders and the company’s current president. Following his graduation from MIT in 2010, he began working at Stripe and was promoted to CTO in 2013. He left Stripe in 2015 to co-found OpenAI and become CTO.
After five years as Stripe’s CTO, Brockman helped found OpenAI. According to Brockman (2020), the primary obstacle that OpenAI faced in its first five years of operation was the conviction that making the full extent of the startup’s work publicly available wouldn’t always be in the best interests of humanity.
Ilya Sutskever
Russian-born Israeli-Canadian computer scientist Ilya Sutskever was born in 1985/1986 and specializes in machine learning. He is one of OpenAI’s co-founders and chief scientist.
As of right now, Sutskever is the only OpenAI co-founder who is still on the board. After working for Google for nearly three years as a research scientist, Sutskever became the research director and co-founder of OpenAI. Sutskever previously co-founded and sold the AI startup DNNResearch, which was centered on neural networks, to Google +. He has served as the company’s chief scientist since November 2018.

American entrepreneur Adam D’Angelo works in the online industry. His most well-known role is that of co-founder and CEO of Quora, a company located in Mountain View, California. Up until 2008, he was vice president of engineering and chief technology officer at Facebook.
It was in June 2009 that he launched Quora. He contributed $20 million of his funds to the Series B funding round for Quora. He is a part of OpenAI’s board of directors.

Helen Toner
Born and raised in America Helen Toner keeps a low profile and doesn’t share many details about her personal life. Despite her popularity in the tech and security sectors, she does not have a Wikipedia page, so her personal history is unknown.
