Worldcoin gets hit in OpenAI suit
According to a recent Reuters report, Elon Musk, the chief of X (formerly Twitter), has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman.
The lawsuit, filed on 29th February, alleges that the AI platform has deviated from its original mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity and not for profit.
Musk claims a breach of contract, contending that Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman initially approached him to establish an open-source, non-profit company. However, the startup’s current focus is on profit generation.
In the legal action, Musk seeks a court ruling compelling OpenAI to make its research and technology available to the public. Additionally, the lawsuit aims to prevent the startup from using its assets for financial gains.
It’s worth noting that Sam Altman co-created Worldcoin and remains a board member, which is why WLD experienced a slight impact.
How Worldcoin ties into the OpenAI saga
While OpenAI does not possess a cryptocurrency, it’s important to note that Sam Altman, as previously mentioned, is the co-creator of Worldcoin (WLD).
Consequently, WLD has become a poster of the renewed interest and development seen at OpenAI. This is particularly following the latest release from the platform.
The increase in attention led to substantial growth in the price of WLD, positioning it as one of the most notable winners over the past weeks.
