OpenAI News: American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk again caused a stir across the technology industry on Monday, calling Sam Altman’s AI firm a “profit-maximizer.” Notably, the Tesla & SpaceX CEO recently took to X, taking a dog at the gen-AI company amid already prevailing legal woes. Sam Altman’s firm’s initial commencement as an open source, but a later for-profit switch, currently presents the AI firm with severe legalities.
OpenAI News: Elon Musk Unhappy With The AI Giant’s For-Profit Switch
In a recent X post by Elon Musk dated January 6, the Tesla & SpaceX lead stated, “OpenAI was funded as an open source, nonprofit, but has become a closed source, profit-maximizer.” Notably, this post comes against the backdrop of another X post by IBC Group co-founder Mario Nawfal. Nawfal revealed that the AI giant currently faces legal woes in the wake of Encode, a youth-led organization, filing an amicus brief against Sam Altman’s firm amid the Musk vs. Altman saga.
The amicus brief urges a federal court to block the firm’s transition to a for-profit entity. Simultaneously, Encode warns that the for-profit transition could “expose humanity to existential AI risks for the sake of investor returns.”
On the other hand, in another X post on the same day, Musk stated, “Geoff Hinton is a good man.” Notably, Geoffrey Hinton is among the leading AI researchers who support Encode’s amicus brief in the Musk v. Altman chronicle. The amicus brief urges the U.S. District Court in Oakland to block OpenAI’s proposed restructuring into a for-profit entity, emerging as buzzworthy news across the industry.
Musk vs. Altman Saga: What’s The Scoop?
Intriguingly, the American billionaire is in strong opposition to Sam Altman’s AI firm’s for-profit switch. This counter was in regard to the firm’s inception as an NPO, which aided it with numerous tax and other benefits from its nonprofit status.
Meanwhile, CoinGape reported that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also joined Musk in his battle against the AI firm’s for-profit switch. Meta issued a formal letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, requesting the state to block the AI firm’s transition. Notably, this series of OpenAI news has gained significant traction across the industry as the firm’s future remains uncertain.
