JAKARTA - The long-running conflict in the world of artificial intelligence reached a new boiling point. Elon Musk officially asked the court to remove Sam Altman and Greg Brockman from their positions at OpenAI. This was done through a lawsuit that will be heard on April 27 in Oakland, California.
In the latest legal document, Musk accused him of being "tricked" when he donated about 38 million US dollars during the early days of OpenAI's founding in 2015. He claimed that the organization was initially promised to be a non-profit entity focused on the interests of humanity, but then transformed into a profit-oriented company.
According to Musk, the change in direction is inseparable from the influence of major investors such as Microsoft. He also asked the court not only to provide compensation, but also to return OpenAI to a non-profit structure and replace the leadership that was considered to deviate from the original mission.
On the other hand, OpenAI responded harshly. The company called the lawsuit a "campaign of harassment" driven by ego and business rivalry. They assessed Musk's move aimed to slow down OpenAI's pace for the benefit of his own AI business, including the xAI company and Grok chatbot.
Tensions have even spilled over into the regulatory realm. OpenAI reportedly urged the government to investigate Musk for alleged anti-competitive behavior, including accusations of coordination with other tech titans such as Mark Zuckerberg.
The trial is expected to be one of the most crucial legal battles in Silicon Valley. In addition to involving the potential value of billions of dollars, the outcome could also determine the direction of global AI industry governance - whether it remains profit-oriented, or returns to its original idealism as a technology for the public interest.
