Elon Musk has moved to dismiss his lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, in a case originally filed in February.
Musk accused OpenAI of abandoning its nonprofit mission for financial gain. The case was dismissed without prejudice, allowing for the possibility of refiling.
Filed in San Francisco Superior Court, the lawsuit alleged that OpenAI, co-founded by Musk, deviated from its original goal of developing AI for the public good.
Instead, it focused on profit, as evidenced by its release of GPT-4. OpenAI described the lawsuit as incoherent and a ploy by Musk to further his AI interests.
Musk's attorneys did not provide a reason for the dismissal. The hearing, initially set for Wednesday, will not proceed as planned.
