Elon Musk sues OpenAI alleging breach of founding agreement

Elon Musk, one of OpenAI’s founding board members and investors, has filed a lawsuit against the company and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that the now Microsoft-financed creator of ChatGPT has breached its founding mission.

“This case is filed to compel OpenAI to adhere to the founding agreement and return to its mission to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of humanity, not to personally benefit the individual defendants and the largest technology company in the world,” the lawyers wrote as part of the suit.

The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of California in the County of San Francisco, alleges that OpenAI and its cofounders Sam Altman and Gregory Brockman breached the company’s founding agreement in 2023 by keeping GPT-4’s internal engine secret.
