Elon Musk sues OpenAI for abandoning its mission to benefit humanity


Musk claims GPT-4 is “better at reasoning than average humans.”

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, over claims that the pursuit of profit has led the company to abandon its founding mission to develop artificial intelligence technology that will benefit humanity. Musk has been critical of the risks that AI advancement could have on society prior to co-founding OpenAI, calling for safeguards to be put in place to prevent such systems from being used to replace humans. “The new Board members lack substantial AI expertise and, on information and belief, are ill equipped by design to make an independent determination of whether and when OpenAI has attained AGI — and hence when it has developed an algorithm that is outside the scope of Microsoft’s license,” claims the lawsuit.
