Details
OpenAI is pursuing its mission to build AGI (artificial general intelligence) that benefits all of humanity, and it recently sought to set the record straight on claims raised by Elon Musk.
Musk claimed an initial funding commitment of $1B, but in reality he donated less than $45M. Musk also demanded a merger with Tesla or that he secure control of the company during the process of converting to a for-profit structure, but no agreement was reached.
When Musk left OpenAI in 2018, he claimed the company had no chance of success and signaled he would found a competitor. OpenAI noted that Musk had previously agreed to keep AGI technology closed, and emphasized that its current technology is creating real value across various fields worldwide.
