The company that has invested billions in generative A.I. pioneers like OpenAI says giant systems aren’t necessarily what everyone needs.

Microsoft said it would invest $1.5 billion in G42, an Emirati company with ties to China, as Washington and Beijing maneuver to secure tech influence in the Persian Gulf.

“I’ve always said if you have a ChatGPT subscription and a hose, you can get very far in this life.”

A partnership would extend the long relationship between the companies that has helped deliver everything from maps to search on Apple’s devices.

The tech giant and its partner OpenAI were accused of infringing on copyrights to train A.I. technologies like the online chatbot ChatGPT.

In his lawsuit against OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, Mr. Musk relies on a provocative paper from the start-up’s closest partner.

Musk said the prominent A.I. start-up had put profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity.

Raw Story, AlterNet and The Intercept sued for copyright infringement over the way the ChatGPT creator trains its technology.

The artificial intelligence start-up argued that its online chatbot, ChatGPT, is not a substitute for a New York Times subscription.

Microsoft and OpenAI said the A.I. had helped groups with ties to China, Russia, North Korea and Iran mostly with routine tasks.

The shift is indicative of the importance of new artificial intelligence technology to Silicon Valley and Wall Street investors.

The artificial intelligence start-up said that it collaborated with news organizations and that The Times, which accused it of copyright infringement, was not telling the full story.

Millions of articles from The New York Times were used to train chatbots that now compete with it, the lawsuit said.
