The OpenAI lawsuit argues that GPT-4 is not an open source AI system but a technology company’s fortune is in the hands of humanity

The lawsuit is about forcing OpenAI to return to its mission to develop AGI for the benefit of humanity, rather than benefiting Microsoft, which is the largest technology company in the world.

The lawsuit alleges that the internal design of GPT-4, the company’s latest model, remains secret because Microsoft and OpenAI stand to make a fortune by selling access to the AI model to the public. There is a similarity between “GPC-4” and “OpenAI” according to the filing.

AI systems exist across a spectrum of openness, ranging from fully open source to fully closed, depending on how much their inner workings are shared with researchers and members of the public. The proponents of open source say the approach allows more transparency and potential for innovation. Arguments against include warnings that it makes powerful AI models potentially available to criminals or geopolitical adversaries. While GPT-4 is not free to download, modify, and deploy, Meta’s Llama 2 model is.
