Elon Musk wanted $80 billion to colonise Mars, OpenAI president testifies at trial
The president of OpenAI testified on Tuesday that Elon Musk supported transforming the artificial intelligence startup into a for-profit company, but wanted full control in part to help him raise $80 billion to colonise Mars.
Under questioning from an OpenAI lawyer, Greg Brockman said that in 2017 Musk wanted OpenAI to change its corporate structure because it was too hard for a nonprofit to raise the amount of money OpenAI required to build advanced AI models.
