Elon Musk and Nobel laureates call for investigation into OpenAI’s nonprofit mission

Elon Musk has labeled OpenAI’s restructuring plan as ‘the scam of the century’. The letter from legal and AI experts demands accountability for OpenAI’s transition from a non-profit to a for-profit model, arguing that this could violate its founding principles.

Experts express concern that focusing on profits jeopardizes OpenAI’s original mission to benefit humanity. Nobel laureates and legal authorities argue the shift could compromise the non-profit’s legitimacy and advocate for stricter oversight.
