TECH - Elon Musk Sues Sam Altman And OpenAI For 'Refining AGI' To Maximize Profits For Microsoft: 'Stark Betrayal Of Founding Agreement' | Benzinga
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has sued Sam Altman and OpenAI whilst also taking a shot at the largest company in the world, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT). Musk claims Altman and OpenAI have betrayed the ‘Founding Agreement' of the AI startup.
What Happened: Musk filed a lawsuit on Thursday night in the San Francisco Superior Court alleging that Altman and OpenAI have compromised on the founding principles of the artificial intelligence startup, especially due to their relationship with Microsoft.
"OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft. Under its new board, it is not just developing but is actually refining an AGI to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity."
