OpenAI denies Musk's lawsuit claim that a founding agreement never existed
OpenAI challenged a basic claim made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a lawsuit filed earlier this month against the startup.
In seeking to commercialize its ChatGPT chatbot and foundational AI models, OpenAI faces a series of legal disputes, including lawsuits from Musk as well as from The New York Times and an author alleging copyright infringement. Last week, OpenAI mocked Musk's complaint in a memo and released emails involving him dating back to the startup's early days.
In his complaint earlier this month, Musk claimed that he and OpenAI's two other co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, signed a "Founders Agreement" in 2015. Musk said the three agreed to create a new AI lab that would be a nonprofit dedicated to benefiting humanity and would not keep information confidential to gain commercial advantage.
"According to documents filed with the Superior Court of California in San Francisco County, there was no Founders Agreement with Musk, or anyone else," OpenAI said. "The Founders Agreement is actually a fictional story Musk made up in an attempt to falsely assert control over a company he helped found, then abandoned, and then watched succeed without him."
