Elon Musk sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman for spurning ‘original mission’ in favor of profits
NY Post
Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its chief Sam Altman, alleging that they have led the firm to “radically depart from its original mission” by prioritizing profit over humanity.
Musk’s lawsuit, filed in California’s Superior Court late Thursday, notes that OpenAI’s certificate of incorporation states that its work “will benefit the public,” and that it isn’t “organized for the private gain of any person.”
Nevertheless, OpenAI, under a new board formed in November after Altman’s short-lived ousting as CEO — now seeks “to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity,” the suit claims.
To demonstrate OpenAI’s deep ties to the tech behemoth, the complaint pointed to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s comment in November as the drama was unfolding — stating publicly “that it would not matter ‘if OpenAI disappeared tomorrow.”
Microsoft’s Nadella “explained that we ‘have all the IP rights and all the capability'” to keep OpenAI’s tech running — including GPT-4, the fourth and most advanced version of ChatGPT, whose internal design Musk alleged “remains a complete secret except to OpenAI — and, on information and belief, Microsoft,” according to the suit.
The suit comes as a rivalry between OpenAI and Musk’s own artificial intelligence startup xAI is heating up.
