Opanai CEO Sam Aldman has made a waiver .4 97.4 billion Auctions Leading the contestant Elon Mask, but will complicate Altman’s motivation to make the producer of the unsolicited offer Sodgift into a non -profit company.
Aldman said on Tuesday at an artificial intelligence summit in Paris: “We are not for sale.
Mask’s auction was announced on Monday, the latest in a bitter year -long battle with AI -starting control of AI, which helped them to find a profit one decade ago, and now the surrounding global boom is a leading force AI technology that creates.
“There is a purpose in Opano,” said Altman AI Minister in a debate on Tuesday by technical workers and investors. “We are an extraordinary organization. We have this purpose that AGI benefit all humanity. We are here to do it.”
Its claimed purpose has been to make a better AI than humanity, which is known as artificial public intelligence or AGI since its establishment in 2015. Mask, an early investor and board member, left Opanai in 2018.
Increased their public fighting last year Musk sued Openai It works to raise its own AI company, Sai, a part of a business empire, which includes Tesla, SpaceX and Social Media Site X. Mask now has power as President Donald Trump’s top advisor to redesign the US government, and is publicly questioned with the support of Opanai’s Trump Private investment plan To create AI data centers in the United States.
What will happen next?
This offer complicates the plan to change its structure Away from its non -profit roots To a company that looks at shareholders.
The Opanayi’s non -profit board must consider Musk’s offer. Although Aldman reflected the attitude of Aldman at the Wall Street Journal event on Tuesday at California’s Paulo Alto, although Aldman declared that “there is no open sale”, it is not the only one to accept or reject it.
Taylor said Muscle’s action from the Board’s reliable duty was “often a distraction.”
As a non -profit board, Taylor said, “Our work is very simple. This is to evaluate every strategy of the organization through that test, that is, ‘which is really the intention of AGI humanity?’ I have difficulty to see what it is. ”
The Board must weigh not only the value of the company’s assets, but also the value of controlling the company that develops this technology. If the Maskin offer is abandoned the control of its subsidiaries, it seems to set up a site for how much a non -profit company to pay.
The Board should consider the credibility of the Mask’s offer, including whether he and his investors will pay for money in Lowell Milgen Center on the terms of the UCL law and non -profit organizations. They must consider whether a new group is independent under the control of musk and other investors and what they can guarantee its public work.
Musst Billion 44 billion Twitter acquisition In 2022, it started with an unprecedented offer and a legal fight with the Twitter board, led by former Facebook and Salesfores Administrator Taylor. However, the acquisition of the opening of the open can be more complicated due to its charity purpose.
“There is a purpose to bind legal,” said Jill Harvitz, Professor of UCLA School of Lav. “Open, the promise made to the public when the non -profit was created. That promise is legally implemented.”
Two years ago, Saodgift’s sudden fame brought global fame and new business possibilities to the opening of the system, and the inner turmoil of the system and the inner turmoil of the advanced AI tried to create it. Its non -profit board removed Altman in late 2023. A few days later he returned with a new group.
Open Problems
The non -profit motive of the Opanaya, as most recently defined by 2020, ensures that artificial public intelligence benefits all humanity by conducting and/or financing artificial intelligence. ”
The question is, can it be done if it sells its assets and loses the control of the company that develops this technology?
Harvitz said, “Promising to the world that you are obliged with a legal purpose and building that promise, and telling your investors do not expect any income,” Harvitz said. “Then when you get enough big enough, ‘What do you know? We want to own this. ‘It looks like a real violation of promise. ”
Musst Sued Openai Last year, the first in the California State Court and later in the Federal Court, accused of betraying its founding objectives as a non -profit research laboratory, which would benefit the public benefit. Mask’s lawyer said he had invested about $ 45 million at the beginning from its establishment until 2018.
Opanai and Musk’s lawyers faced last week in California Federal Court, a judge weighs Musk’s request for a judge’s court order, which will prevent the unprecedented change of Opanayi.
The judge has not yet ruled at the request of Musk, but it is a “stretch” in the courtroom to say that if he does not interfere if he does not interfere with its planned change, he will be harmful. But he also suggested that the Musk had enough arguments to bring in a jury trial.
Who else supports the Mask’s Open A attempt?
Others who supported the Mask and Sai, who supported the auction announced on Monday, are run by the Baron Capital Group, Heroic Management, the Attrights Management, the Vice Fund and the Mask Allies, Ari Emanuel and John Lonstel.
Mask lawyer Mark Topef said in a statement that if the current board of Ultman and Opanayi was “to become a complete non -profit company, it is necessary to compensate for the charity for what its leadership takes from it. The transformation of our time is technology. ”
Aldman told the staff this week that the Opanai system “ensures that no individual can take control of the opening, and that he tried to classify Muscle tactics as a competitor.
“I think he is trying to slow us down. He is a competitor,” Aldman told Bloomberg TV at the Paris Summit on Tuesday.
Aldman, who continued their deep personal fight, said Kasturi was not a “happy person”.
“Probably his entire life came from insecure. I feel for the boy,” Aldman said.
