In an interview for CNBC, global head of E-discovery and AI Shannon Capone Kirk provided perspective on Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, in which Musk sued for breach of fiduciary duty.
“It’s a high-profile case with great public interest, a consequence of which might lead to OpenAI being available to everyone,” said Shannon. “Is that the real objective?”
Some have speculated that the goal of the lawsuit is to reveal details of OpenSI’s GPT-4 in the discovery process.
Shannon agreed, saying that in the discovery stage, there may be “lots of document requests for all kinds of communication,” such as internal conversations, text messages and more, and some documents produced may come with protective orders.
She also noted that “part of what they’re going to be litigating is the question of what is AGI.”
