Elon Musk sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman over alleged shift from founding mission

Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that they have breached the principles he agreed to when helping found OpenAI in 2015. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI, which is developing artificial general intelligence (AGI), has departed from its original non-profit, open-source mission and is now focusing on maximizing profits for major investor Microsoft. Musk also accuses Altman of signing an investment deal with Microsoft that set "aflame" the founding agreement. OpenAI initially aimed to benefit humanity by making its code open to the public, but it has reportedly become a closed-source subsidiary of Microsoft instead. The lawsuit mentions that OpenAI's most advanced AI model design remains a secret. Altman, who was a co-founder of OpenAI but no longer owns a stake, is also named in the lawsuit. Some articles suggest that Musk has been outspoken about the dangers of AI and may have felt betrayed by OpenAI's shift towards profit-making. The exact details of the investment deal between Microsoft and OpenAI are not clear from the available information.
