Elon Musk has sued OpenAI and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:chief executive Sam Altman, among others, alleging they have breached the company's founding mission when it was set up in 2015 by putting profits over seeking benefits to humanity.
According to the lawsuit, filed late Thursday in San Francisco, the Tesla CEO said 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:OpenAI’s close relationship with Microsoft (MSFT) had abandoned the company's original principles of creating open-source technology that wouldn’t be subject to its commercial priorities. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microso💎ft is the largest shareholder in OpenAI, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:artificial intelligence (AI) behind the viral 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:chatbot ChatGPT.
“To this day, OpenAI, Inc.’s website continues to profess that its charter is to ensure that AGI ‘benefits all of humanity,’" the filing says. "In reality, however, OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the✱ world: Microsoft.”
The lawsuit also alleges that OpenAI has concealed the design of i🍸ts most advanced AI model, GPT-4.
"GPT-4’s internal design was kept and remains a complete secret except to OpenAI—and, on information and belief, Microsoft," the filing notes. "There are no scientific publications describing the design of GPT-4."
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Musk, who launched his own AI company xA💜I in 2023, left💎 OpenAI's board of directors in 2018.
In an interview with CNBC Friday, former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton said that while Musk is "arguably a competitor with OpenAI," the lawsuit raises a valid question, asking whether OpenAI's governance has moved too far from its core mission.
"The question, I think, that the lawsuit says is: Have they engaged with commercial actors, Microsoft in this case, have they gone too far in giving them something where the promise of open and benefit of humanity is being lost?" Clayton said.
Musk has been vocal about regulating the industry in recent years and has argued that poorly built AI could have catastrophic consequences for humanity. He signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on AI development models while regulators and companies assess the risk of the technology last year.
Altman, meanwhile, has ties to Microsoft. He was hired to lead Microsoft's arti🗹ficial intelligence research team after he was suddenly 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:fired by OpenAI's former board. He returned as OpenAI's CEO just days after t🐟hat ouster.
