This bold prediction comes amidst a legal battle between Musk and OpenAI. OpenAI is the company known for developing the popular AI tool ChatGPT. Musk alleges that OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, violated their “founding agreement” by partnering with Microsoft. OpenAI, however, categorically denies the existence of any such agreement.

Despite the legal dispute, Musk doubled down on his AI timeline. Further stating that by 2029, AI could potentially surpass the combined intelligence of all humans.

OpenAI has taken a strong stance against Musk’s claims. The company has secured legal representation from a renowned law firm and filed a counter-suit. Their response paints a different picture, alleging that Musk originally advocated for a for-profit OpenAI under his control, which he abandoned when his proposal was rejected. OpenAI portrays Musk’s recent statements as an attempt to claim credit for their progress after leaving the organization.

This clash between a tech visionary and a leading AI research lab highlights the rapid advancements in the field and the ethical considerations surrounding AI development. As AI continues to evolve, debates surrounding its capabilities and ownership will likely become increasingly prominent.
