Sam Altman isn't buying Elon Musk's explanation for his OpenAI lawsuit
Business Insider
·

Medial
In an interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discusses Elon Musk's recent lawsuit against the company. Altman believes that the lawsuit is not about the open-source nature of OpenAI's technology, but rather about the company's structure and partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI's founding agreement mentions its intention to open-source technology for public benefit, but Musk claims the company has deviated from its original nonprofit mission. Altman expresses sadness about Musk's actions and suggests that Musk's decision to open-source his own AI code may be a result of criticism regarding his hypocrisy.

Elon Musk's ongoing feud with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has garnered significant attention. Musk recently filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of breaching their founding agreement. PR experts believe that Musk has the upper hand in the court of public opinion due to his influential reputation and prior controversy. Altman and OpenAI, on the other hand, are seen as having more to lose in this battle. Despite legal experts suggesting Musk's lawsuit may be dismissed, it has allowed him to gain media attention and position his own rival AI startup, xAI, as a major player in the market. The clash between the two high-profile CEOs has put OpenAI under scrutiny and raised concerns about disruptions to the company. While some experts argue that Musk's actions portray him in a negative light, Altman has managed to handle the situation diplomatically, which has garnered him positive attention. The public release of personal emails by OpenAI indicates their determination to fight back against Musk's claims.
