Since OpenAI is one of the leading players in the AI space, this has implications on the business landscape big time, hence we brought this topic up here.
For those that don't know yet, Elon Musk - as one of the founding members of OpenAI and large money contributor files an injunction to halt OpenAIโ€™s transition to a for-profit model, alleging misconduct and conflicts of interest involving key figures and Microsoft.
