OpenAI Challenges Elon Musk's Claim in Lawsuit

According to BlockBeats, OpenAI has challenged a fundamental claim made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a lawsuit filed against the startup earlier this month. OpenAI faces a series of legal disputes in its quest to commercialize its ChatGPT chatbot and underlying artificial intelligence model, including a lawsuit from Musk and copyright cases from The New York Times and authors. Last week, OpenAI mocked Musk's complaint in a memo and released emails involving him that date back to the early stages of OpenAI. In his complaint earlier this month, Musk claimed that he signed a 'Founders Agreement' in 2015 with two other co-founders of OpenAI, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. Musk said the three agreed to establish a new artificial intelligence lab that would be a non-profit organization for the benefit of humanity and would not keep information secret for commercial gain. 'There is no Founders Agreement, or any agreement, with Musk according to documents submitted to the Superior Court of California in San Francisco County,' OpenAI stated. 'The Founders Agreement is actually a fictional story concocted by Musk, who is trying to baselessly claim entitlement to the results of a company he initially supported, then abandoned, and then watched succeed without him.'
