Lawsuit against OpenAI: Elon Musk's declaration of war

Elon Musk is looking for a dispute with OpenAI, the organization behind the chatbot ChatGPT. In a 35-page indictment, the ex-OpenAI supporter accuses the world’s currently most important AI company of “flagrant violations” of the original founding agreement.

Musk is selling the lawsuit as altruistic – it may also be about his business interests.

To understand the feud, one must look back at OpenAI’s history: The organization was founded in December 2015 as an artificial intelligence research laboratory with the goal of developing the technology to benefit all of humanity. Part of this strategy: OpenAI was built as an open-source non-profit organization, so it should not be commercial.
