OpenAI executives disagreed with the claims Elon Musk laid out in a lawsuit on Thursday and said the Tesla CEO is upset that he’s no longer part of the artificial intelligence startup.
In an internal memo on Friday, OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon said “We believe the claims this suit may stem from Elon’s regrets about not being involved with the company today,” as reported by CNBC.
“It is deeply regrettable, to see Elon take this action against a company he helped start, especially given his close partnership with some of you who are still here working towards the mission,” he noted
Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and stepped down from its board in 2018, four years after saying that AI is “potentially more dangerous than nukes.”
