Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan cut the clue delivery! CTOnews.com March 16 news, one of the founding members of OpenAI, billionaire Elon Musk (Elon Musk) has repeatedly criticized OpenAI from an open source organization into a for-profit organization, recently he even tweeted, a non-profit organization into a market value of now 30 billion US dollars for-profit organization, this is legal?

Musk said,"I still don't understand how a nonprofit organization that I donated about $100 million (CTOnews.com note: currently about 690 million yuan) has become a profit organization with a market value of $30 billion." If it's legal, why doesn't everyone do it? "

Musk has always been very worried about artificial intelligence, which he believes is "one of the greatest threats to civilization today" and needs to be regulated.

Founded in 2015, OpenAI is a nonprofit research organization founded by tech leaders such as Sam Altman (current CEO), Musk, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. The agency issued a statement at the time of its establishment, saying: "OpenAI is a nonprofit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence so that it is most likely to benefit all humanity, free from the need to generate financial returns. Since our research is not constrained by financial obligations, we can better focus on having a positive impact on humanity. "

In 2019, however, Koeman announced OpenAI LP, a "separate entity" with a profit cap that allows its investors to earn a 100-fold return on investment, with the remaining proceeds going to research and development of new technologies. The company now offers its API for users to access its AI tools, has signed an investment agreement with Microsoft, and also launched a premium subscription plan for ChatGPT, the latest GPT-4-based ChatGPT only available to subscribers who pay $20 a month.

Musk was furious, explaining that the word "Open" in OpenAI's name represented the founding idea of having an open-source, nonprofit organization. Musk tweeted: "OpenAI was created as an open source (that's why I call it 'open' AI), nonprofit company as a counterweight to Google, but now it's become a closed, profit-maximizing company, effectively controlled by Microsoft." This was not my intention at all. "
