Elon Musk has filed another lawsuit against OpenAI. Again, Musk is alleging that the ChatGPT parent and its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, breached the company’s mission to develop artificial intelligence to benefit humanity.
Musk had dropped a previous lawsuit that has been described as “hilariously bad.” The lawsuit focused on claims that OpenAI breached its founding agreement between Musk and other co-founders to keep the company’s technology open source.
The new lawsuit alleges that Altman and Brockman “assiduously manipulated Musk into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture” by promising that OpenAI would be safer and more transparent than profit-driven alternatives.
Musk’s lawyer Marc Toberoff has described the new lawsuit as “a much more forceful lawsuit.”
The new suit also argues that OpenAI broke federal racketeering laws in a conspiracy to defraud Musk and that its contract with Microsoft would revoke the tech giant’s rights to OpenAI’s technology once artificial general intelligence (AGI) had been achieved.
