Elon Musk has initiated legal action against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that the company has prioritized profit over public welfare amidst lawsuits and government investigations. This lawsuit adds to the myriad of challenges facing OpenAI, including other legal disputes, regulatory investigations, and increasing competition from tech giants like Google. Despite these obstacles, OpenAI continues to attract customers and investors, though the legal and competitive pressures could potentially offer an advantage to rival firms. The feud between Musk and OpenAI is underscored by Musk's founding of a competing startup, xAI, which unlike OpenAI, has not open-sourced its technology. Critics argue that the consolidation of AI technology within a few large tech companies, or "Closed-source AI," poses a significant threat to society, emphasizing the dangers of unaccountable tech giants controlling transformative technologies.
