When OpenAI’s leaders return to work on Monday they’ll have one thing at the top of their to-do list: figure out what to do about the nonprofit board that nearly killed them.

They’ve already begun setting up a governance structure that will guide them in a more commercial direction,1and though that’s great news for OpenAI’s investors, it does fly in the face of its founding principles of prioritizing humanity while building super-intelligent machines. OpenAI’s leadership can do something about that. They must think carefully about the remaining board members they add, and not just to look progressive. They need women, people of color and other diverse voices for whom biased language models are most likely to cause harm, and who will speak up about those risks.
