Musk had accused start-up of setting ‘aflame’ the founding agreement to develop AI for the good of humanity.
Elon Musk has dropped his lawsuit accusing OpenAI and its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of reneging on the startup’s pledge to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
Lawyers in the United States representing Musk, on Tuesday asked a California judge to dismiss the suit, court filings showed.
No reason was provided for the application to dismiss the suit.
Musk in February filed a suit claiming that ChatGPT had set “aflame” its founding agreement to put the good of humanity ahead of profit-seeking when it signed an investment deal with Microsoft.
“To this day, OpenAI Inc’s website continues to profess that its charter is to ensure that AGI ‘benefits all of humanity’,” Musk claimed in the suit.
