"Nobody has committed suicide because of Grok, but apparently they have because of ChatGPT. The comment came up in a line of questioning about a public letter Musk signed in March 2023. In it, he called on AI labs to pause development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, OpenAI's flagship model at the time."
"The letter, which was signed by over 1,100 people, including many AI experts, stated there was not enough planning and management taking place at AI labs, as they were locked in an 'out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one - not even their creators - can understand, predict, or reliably control.'"
"The lawsuit against OpenAI centers on the company's shift from a nonprofit AI research lab to a for-profit company, which Musk claims violated its founding agreements. As part of his arguments, Musk claims that AI safety could be compromised by OpenAI's commercial relationships, as such relationships would place speed, scale, and revenue above safety concerns."
In a deposition for his lawsuit against OpenAI, Elon Musk attacked OpenAI's safety record and claimed xAI better prioritizes safety. He referenced a March 2023 letter he signed calling for a six-month pause on developing AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, citing concerns about uncontrolled AI development. OpenAI now faces lawsuits alleging ChatGPT's manipulative tactics caused negative mental health effects and suicides. Musk's lawsuit centers on OpenAI's transition from nonprofit to for-profit status, arguing this shift compromises AI safety by prioritizing revenue over safety. The deposition was filed ahead of an expected jury trial.
