OpenAI was recently hit by a lawsuit by Elon Musk. The lawsuit alleges once OpenAI’s technology began to significantly impact generative artificial intelligence, CEO Sam Altman changed the company’s direction to focus on financial gain. Notably, this not the first time Musk has challenged OpenAI’s trajectory. He previously filed a lawsuit in February, claiming that OpenAI had strayed from its original mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity. That lawsuit was withdrawn in June without explanation.
Elon Musk was one of the founding backers of OpenAI back in 2015. He claims that he has invested “tens of millions” of dollars in the AI company and even recruited leading AI researchers to the organisation. Musk stepped down from the company board in 2018 to avoid any potential conflict of interest as he was also recruiting AI experts for his self-driving car venture.
