La firme liée à ChatGPT ouvre un bureau à Zurich
Original
OpenAI was founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Sam Altman. The company is now valued at approximately $157billion. Launched as a non-profit, OpenAI intends to become a for-profit public benefit corporation to attract more investors.
Musk jumped ship in 2018 and has since taken OpenAI to court on several occasions. He accuses the start-up of being a for-profit subsidiary of Microsoft.
By launching the first version of its chatbot ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI gave the general public free access to generative AI technology for the first time. The group, headed by Sam Altman, is a world leader in the AI market.
