The controversy between Elon Musk and Sam Altman: Elon Musk and Sam Altman arrive at court for the trial regarding OpenAI.
The initial statements in Musk's civil lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman will take place at the federal court in Oakland, California, following the selection of nine jurors on Monday.
The trial began on Tuesday and could shape the future of AI, where billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman face off over the evolution of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, which has transitioned from a non-profit organization to a giant valued in the hundreds of billions.
The initial statements in Musk's civil lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman will occur at the federal court in Oakland, California, after the selection of nine jurors on Monday.
Musk alleges that Altman and Greg Brockman, CEO and President of OpenAI respectively, betrayed him and the public by abandoning the company's mission to be a benevolent steward of AI for the benefit of humanity, turning it into a "money-making machine" for themselves and investors.
The world's richest person is claiming $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft MSFT.O, one of its largest investors, and wants the funds directed to OpenAI's charitable arm.
He also wants OpenAI to revert back to a non-profit organization, with Altman and Brockman removed from their executive roles and Altman expelled from the board.
Both Musk and Altman arrived at the courthouse on Tuesday morning for the initial statements.
Musk, founder of Tesla TSLA.O and SpaceX, has claimed that he contributed around $38 million in seed capital to OpenAI for its original mission, but it became a profit-driven entity in March 2019, just over a year after his departure from the board.
