OpenAl asked a federal court on Wednesday to bar Elon Musk from unfairly attacking it through a high-profile lawsuit he filed last year, the latest move in a bitter feud between the artificial intelligence start-up and the world’s richest man.

Inafiling in federal courtin San Francisco, OpenAl said Mr Musk had “made ithis project to take down OpenAl.” The company requested that the tech billionaire be stopped from taking “further unlawful and unfair action” against OpenAl and asked the court to hold Mr Musk responsible for any damage he has caused the firm.

The filing was another sign of the acrimony between Mr Musk, who was a founder of Opendl, and the company over the direction of the fast-evolving technology. In August, Mr Musk sued OpenAl and two of its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, claiming they were putting the commercial interests of the company and Al ahead of the public good with the technology.
