Elon Musk sues OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2024-03-01

Billionaire Elon Musk is suing artificial intelligence company OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, claiming that it has betrayed its nonprofit mission and effectively become a proprietary arm of tech giant Microsoft.

His complaint, filed Thursday in California state court, said that company and its partnership with Microsoft violated OpenAI's founding charter, representing a breach of contract. Musk is asking for a jury trial and for the company, Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman to pay back the profit they received from the business.

OpenAI was founded as a check on what the founders believed was a serious threat artificial generative intelligence, or AGI, posed to humanity. The company created a board of overseers to review any product the company created and its products' code was made public.
