Elon Musk wants to escalate his war against OpenAI. Musk, who recently sued the company, said he would drop the lawsuit on one condition. He wants his company to change its name from OpenAI to ClosedAI.
Elon Musk: Case will be dropped if ClosedAI instead of OpenAI
Last week, Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing the nonprofit of moving away from its goal. He claimed that OpenAI is now focusing more on profit-making endeavors. This goes against the company’s founding principle.
In response, OpenAI made some claims to refute Musk’s accusations. It shared emails between Musk and the team that have been going on for years. He said they remain committed to developing AI safely and for the benefit of humanity.
Apple's title of the most valuable company is now at risk due to its artificial intelligence move. If the Apple GPT fails, it could cost the company dearly.
In 2015, Musk, who supported the establishment of the company, planned to make a budget of $ 1 billion, but it is known that this was not accepted. It is also claimed that Musk’s aid to the company was not as big as expected, but around 45 million dollars.
However, Musk continues to make statements towards OpenAI. In a post on X, he said that if he renamed it ‘ClosedAI’, he would drop the lawsuit. He posted a montage photo of Sam Altman wearing an ID badge showing ClosedAI.
OpenAI is considered one of the most important “non-profit organizations” working to ensure the responsible development of artificial intelligence. However, Musk believes that OpenAI is moving away from its goal of keeping its research widely accessible.
