Elon Musk said control of OpenAI should go to his children, Sam Altman tells jury
Elon Musk tried to take control of OpenAI, even suggesting it could pass to his children when he dies, Sam Altman said on Tuesday. Altman is co-founder and chief executive of the artificial intelligence (AI) company behind ChatGPT. He is being sued by Musk, who accuses him of having looted a charity given OpenAI began as a non-profit. Appearing before a federal jury in Oakland, California, Altman said Musk not only backed the idea of OpenAI becoming a for-profit business, he wanted control of it for the long-run. A particularly hair-raising moment was when my cofounders asked, 'If you have control, what happens when you die?'
