Elon Musk has launched a legal case against OpenAI, the AI firm he helped found in 2015, accusing its leaders of “betraying” its founding mission.
The tycoon, who left OpenAI in 2018, argued in documents filed in a San Francisco court late Thursday that the firm was always intended as a non-profit entity.
But he said recent boardroom changes mean OpenAI is now effectively a subsidiary of software giant Microsoft, arguing that this is a breach of contract.
Musk has several times accused Microsoft of controlling OpenAI, claims both companies have denied.
