Elon Musk filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman Monday, re-opening a legal battle in his fights over artificial intelligence.
Monday, August 5, 2024 7:26PM, accusing the ChatGPT maker of abandoning its original nonprofit mission by reserving some of its most advanced AI technology for private customers. He then dropped the lawsuit in June, without explanation, after OpenAI published old emails from Musk that revolved around OpenAI's creation.
"This lawsuit bursts Defendants hot-air philanthropy and holds them accountable for their misrepresentations to Musk and the public. It concerns far more that a $100 billion start-up, the future of AGI lies in the balance," Musk's lawyer Marc Toberoff said in a statement Monday. A high-profile leadership crisis last year resulted in Altman's abrupt firing as CEO, followed by his swift re-instatement, but this time with Microsoft gaining a non-voting seat on OpenAI's board. The tech stalwart also has a multi-billion-dollar investment in OpenAI.
The 83-page lawsuit claims OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft "flipped the narrative" of the company's original mission.
