A group of 12 former Openai employees in support of Elon Musk A lawsuit against the launch of artificial intelligence has requested the court’s permission on Friday to share its fears about the company’s transformation into a profit organization.
People collectively worked at OpenAi between 2018 and 2024, which covers the “forming years of the organization during its more recent development”, A request is saidS The brief was filed in the California District Court of Lawrence Lesig, which represents the group.
The purpose of the request is to support Musk’s arguments in his case against Openai and his efforts to maintain AI’s research project, which Musk co -founded in 2015 as a non -profit purpose, to transform into a profit organization.
“If the non -profit purpose of Openai agreed to a change in the corporate structure of Openai, which took away his controlling role, it would violate his mission essentially,” the documents said.
Openai, led by Executive Director Sam Altman, commercializes the products in recent years, mainly his viral chatbot, which started at the end of 2022. The company was still observed by a parent with a non-profitable obstacle to restructure a non-profit, which is up to the meaningful purpose of the by Musk, which has become one of Altman’s One of One by Altma Main opponents And now he has his own rival, Xai.
A group led by Musk suggested buying Openai in February for $ 97.4 billion, an offer that was quickly rejected. Last month, Openai Close a $ 40 billion financing circle Led by Softbank with a $ 300 billion estimate, the largest private technological funding.
OpenAi’s hybrid structure includes a limited partnership with limited profit created in 2019. The original non -profit purpose is the controlling shareholder and will be completed as an independent entity if the company is restructured. Openai’s endeavor supporters have received convertible notes that would become equity.
In Friday, Lesig wrote that, in addition to abandoning its original mission, the transformation into a profit company will “violate the confidence of employees, donors and other stakeholders who have joined and support the organization” based on their commitments.
The former players, briefly named, are Stephen Adler, Rosemary Campbell, Neil Choudhari, Jacob Hilton, Daniel Coco, Gretchen Krueger, Todor Markov, Richard Ngo, Girish Sastri, William Sonders, Carol Wayneite and Jeffrey Wu. Some have talked about their experiences at Openai in the past.
The submission states that the said countries also “have a considerable interest in this lawsuit, as it deals with basic issues regarding the mission and organizational structure of Openai, which helped to design during their work.”
“Our advice was very clear: our non -profit purpose is not going anywhere and our mission will remain the same,” a spokesman for Openai told CNBC. “We turn our existing hand for a profit into a corporation for public benefits-the same structure such as other AI laboratories such as anthropic, where some of these former employees now work-and XAI.”
The case between Musk and Openai has taken numerous turns of Tesla Executive Director initiated lawsuits early last year, claiming that the company has abandoned its justified mission to develop artificial intelligence “For the benefit of humanity as a whole.” Federal District Court last month blocks Musk’s experience To stop Openai’s transition to a company with a profit.
Earlier this week OpenAi submitted a counter -suit Against Musk, claiming that the most rich person in the world has “tried every instrument that is available to harm the company. This case wants criminal damage from Musk’s actions and order to prevent him from interfering with his operations further.
