Deep Tide TechFlow news, on July 11, according to Jinshi Data citing Politico, OpenAI requested California's political finance regulatory agency to investigate a nonprofit organization challenging its billion-dollar business plans, accusing it of violating state lobbying laws and once again raising questions about the organization's relationship with Musk.
The complaint submitted to the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) alleges that the 'Coalition for AI Nonprofit Integrity' may have fabricated the identity of its leaders and failed to report lobbying funds associated with a state bill that has since been weakened, which could prevent the ChatGPT manufacturer from transitioning into a for-profit entity.
This is the latest escalation of OpenAI's pressure on the organization. Meanwhile, OpenAI is also engaged in a legal battle with Musk. Musk, who was a business partner of OpenAI, opposed the company's restructuring plan for financing, arguing that it deviated from its original nonprofit mission of 'serving the public interest.' CANI spokesperson Becky Warren stated in an email that her organization had not received complaints as of Thursday.
