Former OpenAI employees file legal brief in support of Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI

According to ChainCatcher, citing Fortune, over a dozen former OpenAI employees submitted a legal brief on Friday supporting co-founder Musk's lawsuit aimed at maintaining the company's non-profit status. Last year, Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of deviating from its founding mission of developing artificial intelligence for human benefit rather than corporate profit. OpenAI and Altman denied these allegations. In the documents filed with the federal court on Friday, these former employees stated that stripping the non-profit organization of control would "fundamentally contradict" the company's mission, as it would lose oversight of the for-profit development entity. These former employees, who held technical and leadership positions at the company, claimed that non-profit oversight is crucial to the company's overall strategy, and that this structure also helps with recruitment, as many employees were motivated to join by the non-profit mission.
