Earlier this month, Elon Musk asked a federal court to dam OpenAI’s efforts to remodel itself from a nonprofit right into a purely for-profit firm.
On Friday, OpenAI responded with its personal authorized submitting, arguing that Mr. Musk is merely making an attempt to hamstring OpenAI as he builds a rival firm, known as xAI.
What Mr. Musk is asking for would “debilitate OpenAI’s enterprise, board deliberations, and mission to create secure and useful A.I. — all to the benefit of Musk and his personal A.I. firm,” the submitting mentioned. “The movement ought to be denied.”
OpenAI additionally disputed most of the claims made by Mr. Musk within the lawsuit he introduced towards OpenAI earlier this yr.
In a weblog submit printed earlier than Friday’s submitting, OpenAI portrayed Mr. Musk as a hypocrite, saying that he had tried to remodel the lab from a nonprofit right into a for-profit operation earlier than he left the group six years in the past.
The submitting and weblog submit included paperwork claiming to indicate that in 2017, Jared Birchall, the pinnacle of Mr. Musk’s household workplace, registered an organization known as Open Synthetic Intelligence Applied sciences, Inc. that was meant to be a for-profit incarnation of OpenAI.
