Elon Musk Sues OpenAI and Sam Altman for Breach of Contract

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and Sam Altman for allegedly abandoning OpenAI's original mission to develop artificial intelligence to benefit humanity. "OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft," Musk's lawyers wrote in the lawsuit, which was filed late on Thursday in San Francisco. "Under its new board, it is not just developing but is refining an AGI [Artificial General Intelligence] to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity," claims the filing. "On information and belief, GPT-4 is an AGI algorithm." OpenAI, which counts Musk among its cofounders, has a unique corporate structure.
