as decided to file a lawsuit accusing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman of betraying the company's founding mission by putting financial gains before achieving benefits for humanity.
The world's richest man, who was once a board member of OpenAI, claims that Altman has "set fire" to the founding agreement of ChatGPT's parent company by signing an investment agreement with Microsoft .
The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco on Thursday, alleges that OpenAI is currently developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can potentially match or italy number screening surpass real-life humans in performing certain tasks, for the economic benefits that this could bring to OpenAI, rather than for the advantages such AI could bring to humanity.
“ OpenAI has transformed itself into a closed-source company that is a de facto subsidiary of the world’s largest technology company: Microsoft . And under its new board of directors, OpenAI is actually refining AGI to maximize Microsoft’s profits and put benefits to humanity on the back burner,” the lawsuit says.
That complaint opens with the warning, which Elon Musk has put on the table on multiple occasions, that the IAG "poses a serious threat to humanity . "
“Where some like Mr. Musk see an existential threat in AI , others see a source of profit and power ,” the lawsuit says, adding that in the hands of profit-driven companies like Google, AGI poses a “particularly acute and damaging danger to humanity.”
