Part 2/7:
Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left amid disagreements over the organization's direction, is now taking a stand against its transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit model. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, is currently in the process of restructuring the organization, aiming to convert it into a public benefit corporation while maintaining a spinoff of its nonprofit arm, which would still retain equity in the new setup.
Musk’s attorney provided a statement asserting it is "time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was." This statement reflects Musk’s commitment to the founding principles of OpenAI, which originally aimed to prioritize AI safety and public benefit over profit.
