"Anything that frees up OpenAI to focus on profit is likely to benefit Microsoft's investment in the company," said Sarah Kreps, director of the Tech Policy Institute in the Brooks School of Public Policy at Cornell University.

OpenAI's huge valuation, labyrinth of for-profit subsidiaries, and potentially risky technology make a for-profit switch legally and publicly complicated — and could invite pushback from regulators.
