Altman, CEO of OPENAI
Altman was appointed CEO of OpenAI in 2019. OpenAI and Microsoft signed an exclusive licensing agreement on September 22, 2020 to license the Generative Pretrained Transformer 3 language model.
Microsoft’s license is only valid for OpenAI’s pre AGI technology. Microsoft has no rights to AGI. Microsoft didn’t get any rights on AGI.
Musk claimed that the lawsuit was filed in order to force OpenAI, the world’s biggest technology company, to adhere to the founding agreement.
This would allow OpenAI to return to its original mission of creating AGI to benefit humanity and not individual defendants. It should be done for personal gain.
