Elon Musk sues OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of compromising the startup's original mission of creating artificial intelligence systems for the benefit of humanity by prioritizing profits.
Musk's Lawsuit Against Altman
Musk, who helped establish OpenAI with Altman and others in 2015, claims that the company's partnership with Microsoft represents an abandonment of the principle of developing artificial intelligence with care and making the technology widely available. "OpenAI has effectively been turned into a division of Microsoft," reads the lawsuit, which represents the latest chapter in the ongoing battle between Musk and Altman.
The Filed Documents
Musk left the board of OpenAI in 2018, and since then, the company has become a leader in generative AI and has created ChatGPT. Musk, who has an AI company called xAI, believes that OpenAI is not focused enough on the existential risks that technology poses to humanity. In the court documents filed, Musk recalls that OpenAI was created as a non-profit to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
