Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its chief Sam Altman, alleging that they have led the firm to “radically depart from its original mission” by prioritizing profit over humanity.
Musk’s lawsuit, filed in California’s Superior Court late Thursday, notes that OpenAI’s certificate of incorporation states that its work “will benefit the public,” and that it isn’t “organized for the private gain of any person.”
Nevertheless, OpenAI, under a new board formed in November after Altman’s short-lived ousting as CEO — now seeks “to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity,” the suit claims.
