OpenAI Counters Musk's Claims with 2017 Emails, Says 'You can’t sue your way to AGI'; Meta Urges AG to Block For-Profit Transition
Dec 13, 2024, 11:13 PM
OpenAI has launched a counter-offensive against Elon Musk's legal claims regarding its transition to a for-profit model. In a recent court filing, OpenAI asserts that Musk, one of its co-founders, had previously supported the shift to a for-profit structure, including emails from 2017 that indicate his desire to control the company. OpenAI's blog post states, 'You can’t sue your way to AGI,' emphasizing its commitment to a capped-profit model aimed at ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits humanity. The ongoing legal dispute has revealed internal tensions within OpenAI regarding the governance of AI and concerns about avoiding an 'AI dictatorship.' Additionally, Meta Platforms has sided with Musk, urging California’s attorney general to block OpenAI's planned conversion, arguing that allowing such a change could set a dangerous precedent for startups leveraging nonprofit status until they become profitable. This legal battle highlights the complexities surrounding the future of AI governance and the competing interests of key players in the tech industry.
