Elon Musk tried to take control of OpenAI, even suggesting it could pass to his children when he dies, Sam Altman said on Tuesday. Altman is co-founder and chief executive of the artificial intelligence (AI) company behind ChatGPT. He is being sued by Musk, who accuses him of having “looted a charity” given OpenAI began as a non-profit.
Appearing before a federal jury in Oakland, California, Altman said Musk not only backed the idea of OpenAI becoming a for-profit business, he wanted control of it for the long-run. “A particularly hair-raising moment was when my cofounders asked, ‘If you have control, what happens when you die?’ He said something like ‘…maybe it should pass to my children.'”
The alleged comments from Musk came as the billionaire was trying to get more control of OpenAI after it was founded in 2015, and had floated several ways of gaining it. As well as wanting more seats on OpenAI’s board and to become its chief executive, Altman said Musk suggested OpenAI become a subsidiary of Tesla, his electric vehicle company.
The overarching goal for OpenAI was getting “more money faster”, Altman said on Tuesday, recalling conversations that involved Musk about the company restructuring to become a more traditional for-profit entity. Musk allegedly felt he should be in charge of such a company, in part because of his fame as a business person who could help OpenAI get financial backing. “If I make one tweet about this, it’s instantly worth a ton,” Altman recalled Musk saying.
But Altman said he, as well as OpenAI co-founders Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever, decided handing Musk such control in exchange for more or easier financing would not help OpenAI’s mission or its pursuit of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. “I was extremely uncomfortable with it,” Altman said. “One of the reasons we started OpenAI was because we didn’t think any one person should be in control of AGI.”
AGI is loosely defined in the tech and AI community as an AI tool or model that becomes so capable and “intelligent” that it outperforms humans on most tasks. Ultimately, Musk left OpenAI in early 2018.
🇰🇷 한국어 요약
이번 기사는 오픈AI(OpenAI) 의 창립자이자 CEO 인 샘 알트만과 일론 머스크 간의 법적 분쟁에 대해 다루고 있습니다. 샘 알트만은 법정에서 일론 머스크가 오픈AI 의 통제권을 장악하려 했으며, 심지어 자신이 사망한 후 그 권리를 자신의 자녀에게 물려주려 했다고 증언했습니다. 오픈AI 는 원래 비영리 단체로 시작되었으나, 머스크는 이를 영리 기업으로 전환하고 테슬라의 자회사로 만들거나 자신이 CEO 가 되기를 원했습니다. 머스크는 자신의 유명세를 통해 자금 조달에 도움이 될 것이라고 주장했지만, 알트만과 다른 공동 창립자들은 한 사람이 인공지능 (AGI) 을 통제해서는 안 된다는 원칙에 따라 이를 거절했습니다. 결국 머스크는 2018 년 초에 오픈AI 를 떠났습니다.
