Sam Altman‘s OpenAI has reportedly lodged a complaint against a nonprofit organization, accusing it of violating state lobbying laws and possibly having connections to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company, has accused the Coalition for AI Nonprofit Integrity (CANI) of violating California’s lobbying laws, reported Politico on Thursday.
The complaint submitted to the California Fair Political Practices Commission accuses CANI of potentially misrepresenting its leadership and neglecting to disclose lobbying payments tied to a state bill that might have obstructed OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit model.
