OpenAI is seeking protection from Elon Musk’s attacks in a lawsuit, claiming he is trying to take down the company. The artificial intelligence start-up filed a request in federal court to prevent Musk from causing further harm and hold him accountable for any damage caused. This is a part of an ongoing feud between Musk, who was a founder of OpenAI, and the company over the direction of technology.
In response, OpenAI accused Musk of using bad-faith tactics to slow down the company for personal benefit, which goes against their mission. This countersuit comes after Musk sued OpenAI and two of its founders last year, alleging they prioritized commercial interests over the public good in their A.I. technology development.
The partnership between Musk and OpenAI dissolved as they fought over control and A.I. evolution, with Musk eventually leaving the organization. Since then, OpenAI has become a major player in the field, developing technologies like ChatGPT and attracting billions in investment.
Musk’s recent bid to buy OpenAI’s assets for over $97 billion was rejected by the board, prompting a response from OpenAI that the bid was “fake” and misrepresented the company’s plans to restructure as a public benefit corporation. Musk’s lawyer defended the bid as serious and criticized OpenAI’s rejection. Meanwhile, a coalition of leaders has petitioned the California attorney general to investigate OpenAI’s restructuring efforts. The ongoing legal battle underscores the intense competition and conflicting visions surrounding the future of A.I. technology.
