Elon Musk claims in a lawsuit filed Thursday evening in San Francisco Superior Court that ChatGPT maker OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman, among others, breached the AI ​​startup's founding agreement that puts humanity above profit.
“These 2023 events constitute egregious breaches of the founding agreement, which the defendants have essentially turned on their heads. To this day, OpenAI, Inc.'s website continues to profess that its charter is to ensure that AGI [artificial general intelligence technology] “benefits all of humanity,” the lawsuit says.
He continues: “In reality, however, OpenAI, Inc. has transformed into a de facto closed-source subsidiary of the world's largest technology company: Microsoft. Under its new Board, it is not only developing, but it's actually perfecting an AGI to maximize Microsoft's profits, rather than for the benefit of humanity.”
