Telsa’s boss Elon Musk has sued OpenAI’s chief Sam Altman along with a few others. Musk stated that they had abandoned the company’s original mission to develop artificial intelligence (AI), to benefit humankind and has now moved for profit.
According to the lawsuit filed by Musk, stated Altman and Greg Brockman, co-founder OpenAI had originally approached Musk to make an open source non-profit company. Musk has stated in lawsuit that the ChatGPT maker’s focus on money has breached the contract. The suit added that the company had kept GPT-4, its most advanced AI model, a complete secret, according to a Reuters report.
Musk along with Altman and others had co-founded the company in 2015, and had stepped down from its board in 2018. Currently, OpenAI is planning to appoint several new board members this March. Toady ChatGPT, has become one of the fastest growing software application in the world, and this was so within six months of its launch in November 2022.
This report comes immediately after reports pointing out that the US Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) is scrutinising the internal communications of Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI to investigate if the company’s investors were misled. The report by Wall Street journal stated, the AI firm is under scrutiny by the SEC.
Altman is working to secure approvals from the US government for his massive venture. The report highlighted that this effort can be a risk to antitrust and national security concerns that are arising in the US.
Open AI’s chief is said to have met with a few potential investors and partners in the Middle East, US, and Asia over the past few weeks. However, reportedly he has stated he needs approvals from Washington.
It was earlier reported Altman is seeking $5 trillion to $7 trillion to bring an overhaul in the semiconductor industry, according to multiple independent reports. Altman, is currently in talks with global investors, including the government of the UAE.
