Elon Musk wanted ‘keys to kingdom,’ OpenAI lawyer says at trial
A high-stakes trial over the future of OpenAI got underway on Tuesday, with lawyers disputing whether Elon Musk was committed to ensuring that artificial intelligence be used to benefit society or instead viewed the Silicon Valley company as a vehicle to amass power for himself.
Musk, the world’s richest person, is suing OpenAI, its Chief Executive Sam Altman and its President Greg Brockman, saying they betrayed him and the public by abandoning the ChatGPT maker’s mission to be a benevolent steward of AI for humanity, and transforming the nonprofit into a profit-seeking juggernaut.
