IRS990/Desc0In 2018, OpenAI released its Charter detailing the principles it uses to execute our mission and launched the OpenAI Fellows and Scholars programs. Technical accomplishments included training a human-like robot hand to manipulate physical objects with unprecedented dexterity and scaling its reinforcement learning algorithms to beat a team of 99.95th percentile Dota 2 players at the Benchmark event. Jack Clark (Policy Director) and Greg Brockman (Chairman and Co-Founder) also each testified before Congress to discuss the importance of developing shared ethical norms, the need to support AI development & education, and the need for government-led measurement and forecasting of AI.
