  • Elon Musk has sued OpenAI for abandoning its original mission of developing AI to benefit humanity by partnering with Microsoft for profit.
  • Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 as a non-profit research lab to pursue advanced AI, but left in 2018 over conflicts of interest.
  • Through the lawsuit, Musk aims to force OpenAI to return to open-source development of AI for humanity’s interests rather than closed-source work for Microsoft’s commercial gain.

Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its executives, accusing them of abandoning their original mission of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) for humanity’s benefit. Instead, Musk alleges OpenAI has prioritized profits through an exclusive partnership with Microsoft.

Musk’s Dealings with OpenAI

In 2015, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman approached Musk about creating a non-profit AI research lab to compete with Google. They agreed the lab would pursue AGI to benefit humanity, not shareholders, and its technology would be open source. Musk was an early backer of OpenAI but left in 2018 over potential conflicts of interest.

ICYMI: Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman for “breach of contract”

Main concerns:

– No longer open source

– Not a non-profit company

Musk’s Accusations Against OpenAI

Musk claims OpenAI has strayed from its founding mission since partnering with Microsoft. OpenAI’s latest product, GPT-4, has been made closed-source and proprietary. Musk believes this is to maximize Microsoft’s profits rather than humanity’s interests.

The Lawsuit’s Demands

Through breach of contract and fiduciary duty claims, Musk aims to force OpenAI to return to its original open-source mission for developing AGI safely. He asserts OpenAI’s new closed-source approach under Microsoft endangers humanity for commercial gain.

OpenAI’s Leadership in Turmoil

The lawsuit comes amid recent drama at OpenAI involving leadership changes. Altman was briefly ousted as CEO last year before returning. OpenAI also appointed a new board, now chaired by Bret Taylor of Salesforce.

Musk’s Own AI Startup

After leaving OpenAI, Musk created his own AI firm, xAI, in 2023. xAI’s goal is understanding the universe, beginning with an exclusive chatbot for Musk’s social media platform. This backgrounds Musk’s desire for OpenAI to remain non-profit.
