Last week, Musk initiated a legal case against OpenAI, contending in a San Francisco court that the firm was initially intended to be a nonprofit entity.

In response, OpenAI and its executives stated in a blog post, "We intend to move to dismiss all of Elon's claims."

OpenAI gained public attention in late 2022 with the launch of its chatbot, ChatGPT, capable of generating poems, essays, and excelling in exams.

Microsoft invested approximately $13 billion in OpenAI in recent years, leading both companies to offer AI services to developers and individuals. Altman and other Silicon Valley startup executives presented their counter-arguments on Tuesday, supported by emails.

Expressing disappointment in Musk's actions, the blog post stated, "We're sad that it's come to this with someone whom we've deeply admired — someone who inspired us to aim higher, then told us we would fail, started a competitor, and then sued us when we started making meaningful progress towards OpenAI's mission without him."

In 2017, realising the need for substantial capital, Musk suggested attaching OpenAI to Tesla as its "cash cow." However, facing resistance, Musk eventually left OpenAI, asserting a zero per cent probability of its success and expressing plans to develop an AGI competitor within Tesla.

Upon departure in February 2018, Musk conveyed support for OpenAI finding its own path to raising billions of dollars, according to the blog post.

OpenAI rejects Elon Musk’s accusations of betrayal, to counter him in court

Elon Musk has initiated legal action against OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging a departure from the company's original mission of developing artificial intelligence (AI) for the betterment of humanity without a profit motive.

Musk claims that Altman and Greg Brockman, the co-founders of OpenAI, initially sought his involvement to establish an open-source, non-profit entity.

According to the lawsuit filed in San Francisco on Thursday, Musk contends that OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, deviated from its original commitment by prioritising profit over its altruistic objectives.

The legal complaint underscores the alleged breach of contract and asserts that OpenAI has maintained a veil of secrecy around the design of GPT-4, its most advanced AI model.

As of now, there has been no immediate response from OpenAI, Microsoft, or Musk to requests for comments from Reuters.

Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but stepped down from its board in 2018, is known for his involvement in various ventures, including electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, rocket company SpaceX, and his acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022.

Notably, Altman, a serial entrepreneur, faced dismissal from OpenAI's former board last year, with the board emphasising its commitment to safeguarding the company's mission of developing AI for the benefit of humanity. Altman later returned to the company with a new initial board.

According to a report in the&nbsp;Washington Post, OpenAI is gearing up to appoint several new board members in March.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, achieved rapid global popularity, becoming the fastest-growing software application within six months of its November 2022 launch.

Its success catalysed the introduction of competing chatbots from major players like Microsoft and Alphabet, as well as numerous startups that secured substantial funding capitalising on the generative AI hype.

Since its inception, ChatGPT has found application in various industries, from summarising documents to generating computer code, prompting a competitive race among Big Tech companies to introduce their own AI offerings.
