Washington (EFE).- Elon Musk withdrew the lawsuit he filed against OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and its two co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, for breach of contract, reported the US network CNBC.
Musk’s decision came 24 hours before a hearing was held in a San Francisco court to determine the court’s acceptance of the lawsuit.
Musk sued in February
Musk filed the lawsuit last February after alleging that OpenAI, Altman and Brockman were in breach of contract, since the company was developing general artificial intelligence (AI) for economic reasons and not “for the benefit of humanity.”
The controversial businessman, who served on OpenAI’s board of directors until 2018, noted in his lawsuit that OpenAI’s main shareholder, Microsoft, had transformed the project.
Musk offered to run the company
In an article published in 2023 by Semafor, Altman alleged that in early 2018 Musk offered to lead OpenAI because he considered Google to be ahead, a proposal that the company’s founders rejected.
After his refusal, Musk left the board of directors, citing a possible conflict of interest.
Last year, Musk created his own company to develop AI, called xAI, which created a ‘chatbot’, Grok, which was integrated into the social network X, formerly Twitter.
Musk has also indicated that in the future Grok will be included in Tesla cars, a company of which he is CEO.
