OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk\u2019s lawsuit by saying that he at one point wanted \u201cabsolute control\u201d of the company by merging it with Tesla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In a blog post published on Tuesday, OpenAI said it will move to dismiss \u201call of Elon\u2019s claims\u201d and offered its own counter-narrative to his account of the company abandoning its original mission as a nonprofit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cAs we discussed a for-profit structure in order to further the mission, Elon wanted us to merge with Tesla or he wanted full control,\u201d\u00a0including \u201cmajority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO,\u201d according to the post, which is authored by OpenAI co-founders Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, Sam Altman, and Wojciech Zaremba. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t agree to terms on a for-profit with Elon because we felt it was against the mission for any individual to have absolute control over OpenAI.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Musk alleged in his suit that OpenAI has become \u201ca closed-source de facto subsidiary\u201d of Microsoft that is focused on making money instead of benefitting humanity. In so doing, his suit claims that OpenAI abandoned its original nonprofit mission that he helped fund. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In Musk\u2019s view, this constitutes a breach of a contract. While Musk\u2019s complaint mentions an OpenAI \u201cfounding agreement,\u201d no formal agreement has been made public yet, and OpenAI\u2019s post did not directly address the question of whether one existed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
OpenAI also defends its decision not open-source its work: \u201cElon understood the mission did not imply open-sourcing AGI,\u201d the post says, referring to artificial general intelligence. The company published a January 2016 email conversation in which Sutskever said, \u201cas we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open,\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s totally OK to not share the science.\u201d Musk replied: \u201cYup.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are some other puzzling allegations in Musk\u2019s suit, like the one that GPT-4 is \u201ca de facto Microsoft proprietary algorithm\u201d that represents artificial general intelligence. OpenAI had already rejected that claims in a staff memo but didn\u2019t address it in its public blog post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk\u2019s lawsuit by saying that he at one point wanted \u201cabsolute control\u201d of the company by merging it with Tesla.
