Worries About AI’s Risks to Humanity Loom over Trial Pitting Musk Against OpenAI’s Leaders
Testimony has highlighted fears of AI-driven job losses, misinformation and loss of control as Musk seeks damages and Altman’s ouster.
- A jury of nine people in Oakland, California, is hearing a legal dispute between Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the company's 2015 origins, centered on allegations that Altman betrayed promises to maintain OpenAI as a nonprofit organization.
- Musk claims he founded the startup to create a "counterpoint" to Google, alleging his primary goal was the "mission" of OpenAI, but OpenAI President Greg Brockman testified that Musk sought unilateral control over the company.
- AI pioneer Stuart Russell, paid $5,000 an hour to testify, warned the court that a "winner take all" power struggle over AGI development threatens humanity, noting that whoever develops AGI first gains a massive lead.
- Beyond financial damages, Musk is seeking Altman's ouster from the OpenAI board, potentially derailing the company's planned public offering, despite Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers warning that "This is not a trial on the safety risks of artificial intelligence."
- Altman argues Musk is attempting to hobble the ChatGPT maker for his own benefit, while Judge Gonzalez Rogers noted Musk is currently developing his own AI company, xAI, which launched in 2023.
