Elon Musk revives lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman

Elon Musk filed another lawsuit against OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, over concerns that the company is prioritising profits and business interests over public welfare.
The move is the most recent attempt by Musk to counter an organisation he had helped establish back in 2015.
According to Musk, right after OpenAI's technology succeeded in revolutionising AI that is generative, Altman turned the narrative around and started cashing on it.
The suit also seeks relief in the form of a judicial declaration that OpenAI's license to Microsoft to use its AI models is void and of no force and effect.
He argues that OpenAI's language models are outside the scope of the company's partnership with Microsoft.
In a licensing deal, Microsoft invested billions of dollars into OpenAI in return for the right to utilise its large language models for computing services.

Neither OpenAI nor Musk replied in time to Reuters' request for comments.
In June, Musk dropped an earlier lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman for deviating from the startup's mission at the time of its founding, which was to create AI for the betterment of humanity.
Musk's attorneys had asked the California state court to dismiss the suit, which had been filed in February, without specifying the reason.
The February lawsuit alleged that OpenAI's founders had agreed early on to develop AI in a way that would "benefit humanity," opening renewed legal action by Musk reflects his continued unease over the direction OpenAI has gone since its founding.
