Elon Musk files complaint against OpenAI and Sam Altman

New crisis in sight at OpenAI? Billionaire Elon Musk, who initially financed the start-up behind ChatGPT, filed a complaint Thursday in San Francisco against the company and its co-founder and director Sam Altman.

According to the complaint, the advanced research laboratory in artificial intelligence abandoned its original mission and became a company now guided by profit. Which would constitute a violation of the pact behind the creation of OpenAI.

“OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a de facto subsidiary of the world's largest technology company: Microsoft,” says the document seen by the Wall Street Journal. “Under the leadership of its new board of directors, it is not just developing, but perfecting [artificial general intelligence] to maximize Microsoft's profits, rather than for the good of humanity.”

OpenAI was created in 2015 in California. Sam Altman and his right-hand man Greg Brockman had raised funds to build a non-profit research laboratory, the aim of which is to achieve the emergence of “artificial general intelligence” which would benefit humanity.

According to Elon Musk, OpenAI would have deviated from this mission with the arrival of Microsoft, which injected more than 10 billion dollars into the company. If OpenAI continues its research work, it is not public. The company is also expanding commercial products, such as Chat GPT Plus.

Elon Musk therefore files a complaint for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and unfair commercial practices. The boss of Tesla and Space

This accusation led to Sam Altman being fired by his board of directors in November 2023, before returning to his position after five incredible days. The renegade directors have resigned, and a new board is being formed.

Elon Musk severed ties with OpenAI in 2018. He has since created his own artificial intelligence company, xAI, which released the conversational robot Grok.
