OpenAI has requested a federal court to block Elon Musk from making unfair attacks against the company through a lawsuit he filed last year. The artificial intelligence start-up accused Musk of trying to take it down and causing damage to the firm. This move is the latest development in a feud between OpenAI and Musk, who was a founder of the company.
In response, OpenAI stated that Musk’s actions are anti-competitive and against the company’s mission, leading to a countersuit being filed to put a stop to them. Musk had sued OpenAI and its founders last year, claiming they prioritized commercial interests over the public good in their A.I. technology.
The relationship between Musk and OpenAI soured after disagreements over the company’s direction and ownership. Musk, Altman, and others founded OpenAI as a nonprofit in 2015, but Musk later left the organization. OpenAI has since grown to become a major player in the A.I. space, releasing products like ChatGPT and attracting large investments.
Musk and a group of investors made a bid to acquire OpenAI’s assets for over $97 billion, which was rejected by the company’s board. OpenAI plans to restructure as a public benefit corporation to create public and social good. A coalition of leaders has petitioned the California attorney general to investigate OpenAI’s conversion plans.
The legal battle between OpenAI and Musk highlights the tensions within the A.I. industry and the struggle for control over the rapidly advancing technology.
