Openai continues Elon Musk to say that he tried “constantly” to slow down his business to his advantage.
The company accuses Tesla’s boss of using “bad faith tactics” against Openai to help him control the technology of the cutting AI.
Last year, Mr. Musk continued the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, in order to prevent him from modifying his business structure. Mr. Musk co -founded Openai with Mr. Altman, but left several years ago.
The BBC approached its lawyer for an answer to the Openai trial, which was filed on Wednesday.
The counter-combination opens a new front in the battle with high issues between two heavy goods vehicles of Silicon Valley.
“Elon’s non -stop actions against us are only bad faith tactics to slow OpenAI and take control of the main AI innovations for its personal benefit,” Openai said in a statement on Wednesday. “Today we have contradicted to stop it.”
Last week, a federal judge in Oakland, California, set a date of trial in March 2026 in Mr. Musk’s trial with the aim of acid the legal struggle.
The American district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers previously refused to grant Mr. Musk an injunction which would temporarily stop the conversion of Openai of a non -profit organization into a for -profit business.
She also said that she expected Mr. Musk to testify in the case.
Mr. Musk alleges that Optaai moved away from his founding mission as a non -profit organization to develop an AI for the benefit of humanity and is therefore under contract.
He left the company in 2018.
“This is a control. This is income. It is essentially a person who says:” I want to control this startup “,” said Ari Lightman, professor of digital media and marketing at Carnegie Mellon University.
Lightman said it was a distraction to make AI safe and fair.
“It takes a rear seat with all this fun on control and monetization,” said Lightman.
OPENAI says that Mr. Musk “broadcast false information about us”, in an X Post Wednesday, adding “Elon has never been on the mission. He has always been on his own program”.
Musk’s Xai is a competitor of Openai, but has so far been late. Last month, XAI acquired Musk X social media platform – Formerly Twitter.
Mr. Musk claims that the combined company, XAI Holdings, is estimated at more than $ 100 billion.
In February, Mr. Musk made an unsolicited offer for Openai, offering to buy it for $ 97.4 billion, which Mr. Altman rejected by publishing: “No thanks but we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion if you wish.”
