Elon Musk has sued OpenAI and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:chief executive Sam Altman, among others, alleging they have breached the company's founding mission when it was set up in 2015 by putting profits over seeking benefits to humanity.

According to the lawsuit, filed late Thursday in San Francisco, the Tesla CEO said 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:OpenAI’s close relationship with Microsoft (MSFT) had abandoned the company's original principles of creating open-source technology that wouldn’t be subject to its commercial priorities. 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Microsoft is t🦋he largest shareholder ▨in OpenAI, the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:artificial intelligence (AI) behind the viral 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:chatbot ChatGPT.

“To this day, OpenAI, Inc.’s website continues to profess that its charter is to ensure that AGI ‘benefits all o🧜f humanity,’" the filing says. "In reality, however, OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft.”

The lawsuit also alleges that OpenAI has concealed the design of its most🍨 advanced AI model, GPT-4.

"GPT-4’s internal design was kept and remains a complete secret except to OpenAI—and, on information and belief, Microsoft," the filing notes. "There are no scientific publications describing the design of GPT-4."

澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Musk, who launched his o✃wn AI co♛mpany xAI in 2023, leꦗft OpenAI's board of𝐆 directors in 2018.

In an interview with CNBC Friday, former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton said that while Musk is "arguably a competitor with OpenAI," the lawsuit raises a valid question, asking whether OpenAI's governance has moved too far from its core mission.

"The question, I think, that the lawsuit says is: Have they engaged with commercial actors, Microsoft in this case, have they gone too far in giving them something where the promise of open and benefit of humanity is being lost?" Clayton said.

Musk has been vocal about regulating the industry in recent years and has argued that poorly built AI could have catastrophic consequences for humanity. He signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on AI development models while regulators and companies assess the risk of the technology last year.

Altman, meanwhile, has ties to Microsoft. He was💟 hire🦩d to lead Microsoft's artificial intelligence research team after he was suddenly 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:fired by OpenAI's former board. He returned🌟 as OpenAI's CEO just days after that o❀uster.
