Why It Matters: The dispute originates from OpenAI's shift from a non-profit to a for-profit entity, a transition Musk has opposed. The Sam Altman-led company plans to become a public benefit corporation, requiring the non-profit to relinquish control over its operations.
为什么这很重要：争议源于OpenAI从非营利组织转变为营利实体的过程，马斯克对此表示反对。由山姆·奥特曼领导的公司计划成为公共利益公司，这要求非营利组织放弃对其运营的控制权。
Earlier, the "Godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton, expressed support for Musk's stance. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) has also backed Musk, arguing that OpenAI should not convert assets developed under its non-profit status for private gain.
早些时候，被誉为“人工智能教父”的杰弗里·辛顿表达了对马斯克立场的支持。Meta Platforms Inc. (纳斯达克:META)也支持马斯克，认为OpenAI不应将其以非营利身份开发的资产转化为私人利益。
OpenAI's valuation soared to $157 billion last year. The AI startup has received about $14 billion in investment from Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSTF).
OpenAI的估值在去年飙升到了1570亿。这个人工智能初创公司已经从微软-T (纳斯达克:MSTF)获得了大约140亿的投资。
