Elon Musk said helping create OpenAI accidentally accelerated the AI race, which ‘wasn’t really’ his intention

Elon Musk stated that helping create OpenAI unintentionally accelerated the AI race, as Anthropic's spin-off from OpenAI became a leading AI company. Musk criticized OpenAI's shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity and mentioned a dismissed lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, Microsoft, and others for allegedly abandoning its founding mission. He suggested competitors review each other's AI models for risks and called for government intervention if risks are ignored.
