Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of recklessly developing human-level artificial intelligence (AI) and handing it over to Microsoft. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI breached the original agreement made with Musk, which pledged the company to develop AI openly and for the benefit of humanity. Musk further alleges that OpenAI's for-profit arm has created AGI (artificial general intelligence) without proper transparency and licensed it to Microsoft. The case revolves around whether OpenAI's language model, GPT-4, qualifies as AGI, with experts divided on the matter.
