Elon Musk sued Openai and its CEO Sam Altman, as well as other persons, claiming that they moved away from the company’s initial mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of all of humanity.
in claim filed on Thursday to the court of San Francisco, Mask lawyers indicated that in 2015, Altman and co-founder of Openai, Greg Brockman, invited a technological billionaire to form a non-profit laboratory that would develop artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity .
Being one of the co -founders of Openai in 2015, Musk left the company’s board of directors in 2018, four years after he said that AI can be “potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons.”
“Until now, on the website of Openai, Inc. It is stated that its charter is aimed at being beneficial to all humanity. However, in fact, Openai, Inc. has turned into a closed subsidiary of the largest technological company in the world: Microsoft”, – says in the statement of claim.
The lawsuit states that Openai reorientation to increase Microsoft’s profit contradicts the initial agreements.
“under the new board of directors, the company not only develops, but also improves agi with the aim of maximizing profit for Microsoft, and not for the good of humanity,” the document is indicated.
The lawsuit was filed “in order to force Openai to adhere to the main agreement and return to its mission to develop AGI for the benefit of mankind, and not for the personal benefit of individual defendants and the largest technological company in the world.”
