Elon Musk is intensifying his campaign against OpenAI. Musk, who has initiated legal action against the company, has stated he would consider dismissing the lawsuit under a specific condition: he demands the organization to rebrand itself from OpenAI to “ClosedAI.”
Elon Musk: If ClosedAI is replaced by OpenAI, the case will be dropped
Elon Musk recently initiated a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, accusing them of deviating from the nonprofit’s original mission. He alleges that OpenAI has shifted its focus towards profit-oriented activities, which contradicts the organization’s foundational ethos.
In response, OpenAI contested Musk’s allegations, presenting emails exchanged between Musk and the team over the years as evidence of their ongoing commitment to developing AI safely and for the benefit of humanity.
It’s noted that Musk, who was instrumental in founding the company in 2015, had envisioned a budget of $1 billion for the initiative, a proposal that was not realized. Additionally, it’s claimed that Musk’s financial contributions to the company were not as substantial as anticipated, amounting to around $45 million.
Despite this, Musk has continued to express his concerns about OpenAI. In a recent post on X, he suggested that he would retract the lawsuit if the company changed its name to ‘ClosedAI’, accompanying his statement with a montage photo of Sam Altman wearing an ID badge with the ‘ClosedAI’ logo.
OpenAI is regarded as one of the leading nonprofit organizations dedicated to the responsible development of artificial intelligence. Nonetheless, Musk contends that OpenAI is straying from its commitment to making its research widely accessible.
