Elon Musk sues OpenAI over betrayal

Elon Musk has launched a legal case against OpenAI, the AI firm he helped to set up in 2015, accusing its leaders of a “betrayal” of its founding mission.
The tycoon, who left OpenAI in 2018, argued in documents filed in a San Francisco court that the firm was always intended as a non-profit entity.
But he said recent boardroom changes meant OpenAI was now effectively a subsidiary of software giant Microsoft, arguing that this was breach of contract.
Musk has accused Microsoft of controlling OpenAI several times, with both firms denying the claims.
AFP has contacted both companies for their reaction to the filing.
