Elon Musk gets testy on the stand: 'I thought I had started a nonprofit with OpenAI but they stole it' | Fortune
"Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated, 'This is not a trial on the safety risks of artificial intelligence. This is not a trial on whether or not AI has damaged humanity.' She emphasized that the trial's focus should remain on the legal transition of OpenAI."
"Musk expressed frustration with opposing attorney William Savitt's cross-examination, claiming the questions were misleading. He noted, 'It depends on how high the cap is,' in response to questions about profit limits and nonprofit agreements."
The trial involves Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI's shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit model, which he argues betrays its original mission. Musk, a co-founder, contends that promises were broken regarding the company's dedication to humanity. Tensions escalated during the proceedings, with discussions about AI safety and the future of humanity. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers emphasized that the trial would not address AI's risks, focusing instead on the legal aspects of the nonprofit's transition.
