“We made the decision for the nonprofit to stay in control after hearing from civic leaders and having discussions with the offices of the Attorneys General of California and Delaware,” said CEO Sam Altman in a letter to employees.

Altman and the chair of OpenAI’s nonprofit board, Bret Taylor, said the board made the decision for the nonprofit to retain control of OpenAI. The nonprofit already has a for-profit arm, but that arm will be converted into a public benefit corporation “that has to consider the interests of both shareholders and the mission,” Taylor said. read more

We’re not in a recession (as of this writing, at least), but that doesn’t mean people aren’t stressed. A NerdWallet survey found that 85% of Americans have concerns about tariffs, with 45% worrying that tariffs will result in a recession.

Experts aren’t too far behind in their fears. In early April, for example, J.P. Morgan Research raised their probability of a recession in 2025 to 60%, up from 40% at the beginning of 2024.

“There’s a lot of worry and concern right now in what is unknown, but there’s comfort in what is known,” says Bruce McClary, senior vice president, membership and communications at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC). “There’s a lot that may be outside of your control, but there’s a lot within your control if you have the right information and take the right steps.”

Even if you’re in a stable position, there are ways to increase your financial resilience, and that includes taking a hard look at your credit. When times get tough, your credit health matters. It can give you more options if you need to spread out payments for unexpected expenses, open a new card, or negotiate with your card issuer for help if you’re struggling to afford your bills. read more
