San Francisco. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of violating the original contractual agreement related to AI.

The lawsuit, filed in a court in San Francisco in the US, centers around OpenAI’s latest natural language model GPT-4.

The owner of will remain dedicated, has wrongly awarded the license to GPT-4″.

“Musk has long believed that AGI poses a serious threat to humanity – perhaps the greatest existential threat we face today,” the filed lawsuit says.

Musk’s lawsuit details complaints of breach of contract, breach of duty to act in the best interests of the other party, and unfair business practices.

Musk was an original board member of OpenAI until 2018.

According to the lawsuit, OpenAI’s initial research was done in an “open manner, providing free and public access to designs, models, and code.”

When OpenAI researchers discovered that an algorithm called “Transformers”, originally invented by Google, could perform many natural language tasks without any explicit training, “the entire community began to enhance and extend the models released by OpenAI. Came forward to do”.

Altman became CEO of OpenAI in 2019. OpenAI entered into an agreement with Microsoft on 22 September 2020 to exclusively license its Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT)-3 language model to Microsoft.

“Most seriously, the Microsoft license applies only to OpenAI’s pre-AGI technology,” the lawsuit says. Microsoft hasn’t got any rights on AGI. “And it was up to OpenAI’s nonprofit board to decide when OpenAI reached the AGI stage, not Microsoft.”

Musk said the case was filed to force OpenAI to “abide by its founding agreement and return to its mission of developing AGI for the benefit of humanity, not the individual defendants and the world’s worst.” To personally benefit a big technology company”.
