Elon Musk to return to witness stand in trial over OpenAI’s future

Elon Musk is set to return to the witness stand on Wednesday in a high-stakes trial over a lawsuit he brought against OpenAI, alleging the company ditched its mission to be a responsible steward of AI for humanity in pursuit of profits.

In testimony on Tuesday before a nine-person jury in Oakland, California federal court, the world’s richest person sharply criticized the 2019 decision by the nonprofit OpenAI co-founder and Chief Executive Sam Altman and its President Greg ‌Brockman to create ⁠a for-profit ⁠entity.
