Elon Musk; OpenAI sued its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, as well as other entities affiliated with the company. Musk's reason for the lawsuit is that OpenAI has moved away from its true mission for profit.
According to Elon Musk's statements; When Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman founded OpenAI in 2015, they agreed with Musk that the initiative would be open source and non-profit. However, Elon Musk, who said that the company was now focused on making money, claimed that the contract was violated.
Elon Musk, a former board member of OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, is also uncomfortable with the company's relationship with Microsoft. He claimed that the company was conducting general artificial intelligence (AGI) research with Microsoft for the sole purpose of commercializing it and making a profit. Musk said OpenAI has become a profit-maximizing organization under Microsoft.
"OpenAI's once carefully crafted nonprofit structure has been replaced by a purely profit-oriented CEO and a board of directors with less technical expertise in AGI and AI public policy. The board now has an observer seat reserved solely for Microsoft." Elon Musk- Case file
Elon Musk issued an injunction to prevent executives from profiting from artificial intelligence
Elon Musk accused OpenAI of many allegations. He said that for reasons such as breach of contract and unfair business practices, the company that broke the underlying agreement should be open sourced. Elon Musk also secured an injunction against senior officials at Microsoft and OpenAI, preventing them from profiting from artificial intelligence technologies.
Elon Musk, who resigned from the OpenAI board of directors in 2018, had problems with Sam Altman at that time. There were some differences of opinion between the two regarding the development of GPT-4 and the possible development of AGI technology. Elon Musk says that now this technology has become dangerous for humanity and public safety.
