PANews reported on April 12 that according to Fortune, a dozen former employees of OpenAI filed a legal brief on Friday in support of 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 OpenAI of deviating from its founding mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity rather than corporate profits. OpenAI and Altman denied the allegations. In documents filed in federal court on Friday, these former employees said that depriving the non-profit organization of control would be "fundamentally contrary" to the company's mission because it would lose oversight of for-profit development entities. These former employees who have held technical and leadership positions in the company say that non-profit oversight is critical to the company's overall strategy, and that this structure also helps with recruitment, with many employees joining because they were motivated by the non-profit organization's mission.
