Elon Musk Asks US Court to Block OpenAI's For-Profit Conversion 🔥

Elon Musk is ramping up his legal battle against OpenAI, the AI company he helped co-found.

Details:

• Musk’s attorneys have filed a preliminary injunction to stop OpenAI’s transition to a fully for-profit model, claiming the move violates its original nonprofit mission.

• The motion also accuses OpenAI, its co-founders, and investor Microsoft of engaging in anticompetitive practices that harm rivals, including discouraging investment in competitors like Musk's xAI and benefiting from sensitive information through Microsoft connections.

• Musk alleges he was defrauded of over $44 million in donations to OpenAI and warns of “irreparable harm” if the injunction isn’t granted.

OpenAI, founded in 2015 as a nonprofit, adopted a “capped-profit” model in 2019 and is now transitioning to a fully for-profit company.

Another Safety Researcher Leaves OpenAI

Rosie Campbell, a policy researcher at OpenAI, has announced her resignation, citing concerns over the company’s direction and the recent dissolution of its "AGI Readiness" team.

Details:

• Campbell, who worked on AI safety and policy for over three years, left OpenAI following the resignation of Miles Brundage, a senior policy advisor who headed the AGI Readiness team.

• The team, which advised on the world’s capacity to safely manage AGI, was disbanded, with its members reassigned to other parts of the company.

• Campbell expressed unease with shifts in OpenAI’s trajectory, particularly its transition to a for-profit model and focus on product rollouts over safety.

• OpenAI has faced a wave of high-profile resignations, including co-founder Ilya Sutskever, Jan Leike, and CTO Mira Murati.

This marks yet another departure from OpenAI’s safety-focused staff, raising questions about the company’s commitment to ensuring the safe development of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
