OpenAI Fires Back Against Musk, Claims He Wanted an OpenAI For-Profit
In a bold move, OpenAI has fired back at Elon Musk, accusing the billionaire entrepreneur of wanting the company to become a for-profit entity.
According to emails published by OpenAI, Musk proposed creating a for-profit OpenAI in 2017. The company claims that this proposal was rejected, and as a result, Musk withdrew his support for OpenAI’s nonprofit mission.
OpenAI has been accused by Musk of abandoning its original nonprofit goals and transitioning to a for-profit model. However, the company says that it is simply responding to market demand and ensuring its long-term sustainability.
The emails, which were sent in 2017, suggest that Musk wanted to create a more commercial OpenAI that could generate revenue and increase its potential returns on investment.
Musk had accused OpenAI of abandoning its nonprofit mission, stating that he never agreed to a for-profit model. However, these newly published emails appear to contradict his claims, suggesting that the idea of a for-profit OpenAI was indeed discussed at some point.
OpenAI has been under fire in recent months due to allegations that it is prioritizing profit over its original mission to make AI available to all.
