PREVIEW

Elon Musk Sues OpenAI. Musk filed the lawsuit against OpenAI, co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, and other entities on Feb. 29, TechCrunch reports. Musk, who is also an OpenAI co-founder and early financial backer, claims that OpenAI breached an original agreement by shifting its focus to pursue profits. Musk says that he invested in the company under the promise that it would operate as a non-profit working to develop AI for the benefit of humanity. But after partnering with Microsoft and receiving a $13 billion investment, Musk alleges that the company switched to a for-profit business model. "In reality, however, OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft." "Under its new board, it is not just developing but is actually refining an AGI to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity." "This was a stark betrayal of the Founding Agreement." Via lawsuit. Musk is seeking to stop OpenAI from monetizing certain technologies and would also like the court to rule that AI systems constitute artificial general intelligence and exceed licensing agreements. Additionally, Musk is seeking "potential restitution of donations," TechCrunch reports. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
