A trial that could help shape the future of artificial intelligence begins on Tuesday, with billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman at odds over the evolution of ChatGPT maker OpenAI from a nonprofit to a ‌profit-seeking juggernaut worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Opening statements in Musk's civil lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman will take place in ‌the Oakland, California, federal court, following the selection on Monday of nine jurors. Musk claims that Altman and Greg Brockman, respectively OpenAI's chief executive and president, betrayed him and the public ​by abandoning the company's mission to be a benevolent steward of AI for the benefit of humanity, and turning it into a "wealth machine" for themselves and investors.
