Musk裁判で2017年にMicrosoft幹部がOpenAIの価値を疑っていたことが判明
Musk対Altman裁判の証拠資料によると、Microsoftの幹部は2017年にOpenAIに「価値がない」とみなし、3億ドルのクレジットを付与すれば1億5000万ドルの損失が生じると警告していました。
Court filings from the Elon Musk v. Sam Altman trial reveal internal Microsoft skepticism regarding OpenAI in 2017. Emails introduced as evidence show that CEO Satya Nadella and other executives questioned OpenAI’s progress, with one leader noting Microsoft's internal research was 'more advanced.' Executives calculated that granting Sam Altman’s request for $300 million in Azure credits would result in a $150 million loss, with the AI team seeing 'no value in engaging.' Microsoft eventually invested $1 billion in 2019 after OpenAI shifted to a 'capped-profit' structure.
