June 20, 2024, New Delhi – Billionaire Elon Musk recently disclosed that he named the artificial intelligence firm ‘OpenAI’ when it was founded in 2015. Musk explained that in a world where Google dominated the AI sector, OpenAI was “formed with a lot of good intentions” to democratize AI and promote ethical development.

Despite the controversies and legal issues, Musk emphasized the need to focus on the positive impact of AI development. He has since dropped the lawsuit, underscoring his commitment to the company’s foundational principles.
