Elon Musk Sues OpenAI and Sam Altman for Allegedly Abandoning Mission
Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman, accusing them of deviating from their original goal of developing artificial intelligence (AI) for the betterment of humanity. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI, once a nonprofit focused on safeguarding against dangerous AI, has shifted to developing a closed-source AGI (artificial general intelligence) to maximize profits for Microsoft. The lawsuit points out that the explosive growth of the GPT models and the reported $80 billion valuation of the for-profit arm have incensed Musk, who sees this shift as a departure from the organization's founding principles.
