Godfather of AI Throws Support Behind Elon Musk’s Lawsuit Against OpenAI
Renowned artificial intelligence researcher Geoffrey Hinton has joined the growing list of voices expressing concern over OpenAI’s decision to restructure itself as a fully for-profit corporation. The Nobel and Turing prizes award-winner, commonly referred to as the “godfather of AI,” has filed an amicus brief in support of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI.
Hinton’s involvement adds significant weight to the debate surrounding OpenAI’s transition, which the organization claims will allow it to raise more funds and further its mission of benefiting everyone. However, some critics have voiced concerns that the change could lead to a prioritization of investor interests over the public good.
As one of the pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence, Hinton’s expertise carries significant weight in this discussion. His support for Musk’s lawsuit is likely to be taken seriously by many in the AI research community.
It remains to be seen how OpenAI will respond to these criticisms and whether its new corporate structure will indeed align with its stated goals.
