OpenAI is accused of having ties to Musk and violating lobbying rules in California
BlockBeats News, July 11th, according to Politico, OpenAI has asked California's political finance regulator to investigate a nonprofit organization that is challenging its multi-billion dollar business plan, accusing it of violating state lobbying laws and once again raising questions about the organization's relationship with Musk.
The complaint submitted to the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) accuses the "Coalition for AI Nonprofit Integrity" of potentially having a fictitious responsible person and failing to report lobbying payments related to a now-weakened state bill that could prevent the ChatGPT manufacturer from transitioning to a for-profit entity.
This is the latest escalation in OpenAI's pressure against the organization. Meanwhile, OpenAI is also engaged in a legal battle with Musk. Musk was a former commercial partner of OpenAI and opposed the company's restructuring plan for funding, arguing that it deviated from its original nonprofit mission to "serve the public interest." CANI spokesperson Becky Warren said in an email that her organization had not yet received the complaint on Thursday. (BlockBeats)
