Elon Musk, the original co-founder of OpenAI in 2015, has filed a lawsuit against the company and its CEO Sam Altman. The lawsuit alleges a breach of contract, stating that since OpenAI has partnered with Microsoft for $13 billion and is keeping its generative AI code a secret, it has violated the company’s founding charter.

»OpenAI je bil ustvarjen kot odprtokodno (zato sem ga poimenoval »odprt« AI), neprofitno podjetje, ki je služilo kot protiutež Googlu, zdaj pa je postalo zaprtokodno, maksimalno dobičkonosno podjetje, ki ga učinkovito nadzoruje Microsoft . Sploh ni tisto, kar sem nameraval,« Musk je tvitnil.

The original sentiment behind the agreement was that the non-profit would make AI available to everyone and generally “benefit humanity”. One of its primary principles was that the code for all products developed would be open to the public.

Musk claims that OpenAI has developed a new AGI (artificial generative intelligence) behind closed doors and has licensed it to Microsoft. Musk’s concern is that if controlled by Microsoft, the technology will become a for-profit commodity, jeopardizing the intended open development.

“However, one thing is clear to Mr. Musk and the public at large: OpenAI has abandoned its ‘irrevocable’ non-profit mission in the pursuit of profit,” the complaint states.

Despite Musk’s accusations, many experts have questioned whether the pursuit of profit means that OpenAI is no longer a non-profit. All non-profits must have cash flow, and Microsoft has heavily invested in the company for years. It remains to be seen if this partnership is really a red flag regarding OpenAI’s commitment to its founding purpose.

The heart of the lawsuit comes down to just two things: is ChatGPT-4 AGI, and is OpenAI still a non-profit? Musk says yes to both, while Altman and many AI experts say no.

As the lawsuit unfolds, we can expect bigger discussions about the ethical and legal dimensions of AI development, as well as the future trajectory of artificial intelligence as a whole.
