OpenAI has formally requested that the attorneys general of California and Delaware investigate Elon Musk and his associates for alleged 'improper and anti-competitive behavior' as a trial approaches. Musk, a cofounder of OpenAI in 2015, filed a lawsuit against the organization in 2024, claiming it has violated its founding mission while transitioning to a for-profit model. The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $100 billion, which OpenAI argues could cripple its operations. OpenAI's chief strategy officer, Jason Kwon, expressed concerns that Musk's legal actions could undermine the company's goal of ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits humanity. Musk's attempts to recruit Mark Zuckerberg for his consortium's bid for OpenAI were also noted, indicating the competitive tensions in the AI sector. A judge in Oakland, California, has ruled that a jury will hear the case, which is set to begin in April. The outcome could have significant implications for the future of AGI development.
