“Elon Musk told a jury that OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman “stole a charity” by converting the AI lab into a for-profit entity now valued at $850bn, against its mission of ensuring AI would benefit humanity.
“Fundamentally, [the defendants] are trying to make this lawsuit seem very complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is not OK to steal a charity,” the world’s richest man said in a court in Oakland, California, on Tuesday. Altman and Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president, sat in court as attorneys presented opening arguments in a high-stakes legal clash over the world’s most valuable start-up.
Steven Molo, Musk’s lead trial lawyer, likened OpenAI to a non-profit museum with a gift shop, saying the “museum store” cannot “sell the Picasso and pocket the profits”.”
