The day after OpenAI launched in December 2015, its co-founder Sam Altman sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss what the magazine described as “a non-profit company to save the world from a dystopian future”.
Musk filed a suit against OpenAI in a California court last week, alleging that Altman and other executives had “breached the founding agreement” of the company by pursuing private commercial success instead of working to benefit humanity.
It also adds to a growing number of lawsuits facing OpenAI, as a slew of authors and news outlets allege that the company violated copyright laws and illegally used original works to train its AI tools.
The core of the suit, however, revolves around Musk’s allegation that OpenAI broke an initial agreement to share its technology with the public and help humanity when the company took billions of dollars in investment from Microsoft and turned into a largely for-profit venture.
It also alleges that OpenAI has partially achieved the creation of Artificial General Intelligence – broadly defined as when AI is on par with human cognitive ability – which poses “perhaps the greatest existential threat we face today”.
Musk pushed the group to announce that the company was launching with a $1bn funding commitment, far higher than the $100m that Altman intended, and claimed he would cover whatever wasn’t raised, according to emails OpenAI posted on their blog.
