Elon Musk sued Sam Altman's OpenAI, claiming they deviated from their mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity to focus on profit-making endeavours.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman on March 1, accusing the company forgot its original mission for profit. In response, OpenAI released several of Musk’s emails sent to the team between 2015 and 2018. Musk has now promised to drop the lawsuit if the company changes its name to ‘ClosedAI’.
