OpenAI has responded to a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk last week. In a blog post, OpenAI shared archived emails from Musk suggesting his support for deviating from open source practices in developing artificial general intelligence (AGI). The emails indicate that the "open" in OpenAI means that the benefits of AGI should be open to everyone, but not necessarily shared openly during the research process. Musk's lawsuit accuses OpenAI of prioritizing profit over its original nonprofit mission and breaching its agreement to make significant AI advancements open source. OpenAI plans to dismiss all of Musk's claims.

OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk's recent lawsuit, stating that it intends to dismiss all claims made by the billionaire entrepreneur. The organization claims that Musk's impact on its development and success was minimal, despite his initial commitment to provide up to $1 billion in funding. OpenAI maintains its mission to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of humanity, but acknowledges the need for a for-profit entity due to the high costs involved. The startup also counters Musk's allegation that it abandoned its open-source principles, stating that Musk had agreed to a shift away from complete transparency as progress was made in AGI development.
