Elon Musk sues OpenAI, renewing claims ChatGPT-maker put profits before ‘the benefit of humanity’
Elon Musk filed a lawsuit on Monday against OpenAI and two of its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, renewing claims that the ChatGPT-maker betrayed its founding aims of benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. The lawsuit, filed in a Northern California federal court, called Musk's case a “textbook tale of altruism versus greed.” Mr. Altman and others named in the suit “intentionally courted and deceived Musk, preying on Musk’s humanitarian concern about the existential dangers posed by artificial intelligence,” according to the complaint. That lawsuit alleged that when Mr. Musk bankrolled OpenAI’s creation, he secured an agreement with Mr. Altman and Mr. Brockman to keep the AI company as a nonprofit that would develop technology for the benefit of the public and keep its code open. Mr. Musk claims in the new suit that he and OpenAI's namesake objective were “betrayed by Mr. Altman and his accomplices.” “The perfidy and deceit are of Shakespearean proportions,” the complaint said.
