Elon Musk Sues OpenAI Over AI Threat (🔗 Read Paper)
Elon Musk sues OpenAI, alleging a betrayal of the company's commitment to developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of humanity. The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, claims that OpenAI's closed-source release of AGI technology under Microsoft's influence prioritizes profit over public interest. Musk alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and unfair business practices, urging OpenAI to revert to open source. The suit also highlights concerns about GPT-4, OpenAI's latest AGI model, being kept closed for proprietary commercial reasons, potentially compromising public safety.
OpenAI Hits Back at Elon Musk (🔗 Read Paper)
In an update, OpenAI shares insights on their mission and relationship with Elon Musk. Notably, Elon's initial $1B funding suggestion was based on the realization that building AGI required more resources than anticipated. However, the non-profit raised less than $45M from Musk and over $90M from other donors.
The need for a for-profit entity became apparent, leading to discussions with Musk about merging with Tesla or creating a new entity. Disagreements over control and mission alignment ensued, prompting Musk's departure. OpenAI remained committed to building widely-available tools, making strides in healthcare, agriculture, and language preservation. Elon's departure and subsequent legal action are regrettable, given the shared mission. OpenAI remains focused on its goal and looks forward to empowering individuals with their evolving AI tools.
