Elon Musk says in a lawsuit Thursday that Sam Altman and OpenAI have betrayed an agreement by the company's artificial intelligence research foundation to develop the technology for the benefit of humanity rather than profit.
In the lawsuit filed Thursday night in San Francisco Superior Court, Musk claims that OpenAI's recent relationship with tech giant Microsoft has compromised the company's original dedication to open-source, public artificial general intelligence.
“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 actually refining an AGI to maximize benefit of Microsoft, rather than the benefit of humanity,” Musk says in the lawsuit.
Musk is filing claims that include breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and unfair business practices against OpenAI and is calling for the company to return to open source. Musk is also seeking an injunction to prevent OpenAI, its president Gregory Brockman and CEO Sam Altman, named as co-defendants in the case, as well as Microsoft, from benefiting from the company's artificial general intelligence technology. company
Artificial general intelligence, a type of AI developed to act autonomously at the cognitive level of humans, has been the primary focus of OpenAI and is demonstrated, Musk says, in its GPT-4. The company launched GPT-4 in March 2023, but according to Musk, it remains a closed model, in contrast to previous iterations, a move driven by commercial considerations rather than the interest of humanity.
