Elon Musk, currently engaged in a dispute with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, asserted on Wednesday that artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to surpass the intellect of any individual human by next year.
Musk has taken legal action against the company led by Sam Altman, alleging a breach of their "founding agreement" due to their collaboration with tech giant Microsoft.
In response, OpenAI refuted any such founding agreement with Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
In a recent statement on his platform, X, Musk reiterated his belief that AI will outstrip human intelligence by the coming year.
"By 2029, AI is likely to surpass the collective intelligence of humanity," Musk elaborated.
Meanwhile, OpenAI has enlisted the expertise of prominent lawyers from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to defend against Musk's legal challenge.
In their court filing, the company countered Musk's claims, asserting that he initially endorsed a for-profit model for OpenAI under his control, only withdrawing his support when his terms were not met.
"Observing the significant technological advancements achieved by OpenAI, Musk now seeks to claim that success for himself," the lawsuit stated.
"The alleged Founding Agreement is merely a fabrication concocted by Musk to unjustly lay claim to the achievements of a venture he once championed, subsequently abandoned, and then witnessed thrive without his involvement."
