Elon Musk Relives Lawsuit Against Sam Altman And OpenAI
JAKARTA - Elon Musk has revived a lawsuit against OpenAI, its ChatGPT maker, and CEO Sam Altman on Monday, August 5, claiming that the company is more concerned with profit and commercial interests than the public good.
This lawsuit is Musk's latest attempt to challenge the company he founded in 2015. Musk alleges that after OpenAI's technology began to change the artificial intelligence of the generative, Altman "changed the narrative and continued to profit."
The lawsuit calls for court stipulation that OpenAI's license to Microsoft to use its AI model is null and void. Musk also argues that the OpenAI language model is outside the scope of the company's partnership with Microsoft.

OpenAI has a licensing partnership with Microsoft, where the tech giant invested billions of dollars into this startup in exchange for using OpenAI's big language model in its computing services.
In June, Musk withdrew a previous lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman accusing them of leaving the original startup mission to develop artificial intelligence for the good of mankind, not for profit.
Musk's lawyers asked the California state court to drop the lawsuit, without giving any reason for the move. In a lawsuit filed in February, Musk said that the three founders of OpenAI initially agreed to work on AI in a way that would "profit humanity."
