Family sues OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT advice led to accidental overdose
OpenAI is facing another wrongful death lawsuit . Leila Turner-Scott and Angus Scott filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it designed and distributed a defective product that led to the death of their son Sam Nelson from an accidental overdose. Specifically, they're alleging that Sam died following the exact medical advice GPT-4o had provided and approved. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs described how Sam, a 19-year-old junior at the University of California, Merced, started using ChatGPT in 2023 when he was in high school to help with homework and to troubleshoot computer problems. Sam then started asking the chatbot about safe drug use, but ChatGPT initially refused to answer his question, telling him that it couldn't assist him and warning him that taking drugs can have serious consequences for his health and well-being.

Elon Musk Had 'Hair-Raising' Idea of Passing OpenAI Onto His Kids, Sam Altman Says
Elon Musk Had'Hair-Raising' Idea of Passing OpenAI Onto His Kids, Sam Altman Says Musk's lawyers questioned Altman over allegations of deception and his network of financial investments, but the OpenAI CEO painted a picture of Musk as obsessed with controlling the company. Sam Altman took to the witness stand to defend his reputation in the trial on Tuesday, as Elon Musk's lawyers peppered the OpenAI CEO with hours of questions regarding his alleged history of deceptive behavior . The cross examination was a much needed win for Musk, who has so far struggled to make a convincing case. Tuesday's testimony included several heated exchanges in which the OpenAI CEO had to respond to allegations from former colleagues suggesting he's untrustworthy . Highlighting this evidence is not only important for Musk winning over a jury, but also for beating OpenAI in the court of public opinion.

Sam Altman says Elon Musk wanted 90 percent of OpenAI in high-stakes trial
In a United States court, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has rejected claims from fellow tech mogul Elon Musk that he betrayed the artificial intelligence company's original vision. Tuesday marked the start of Altman's testimony in a contentious trial unfolding in Oakland, California, between some of tech's richest and most powerful titans. He alleged that OpenAI's leader persuaded him to invest $38bn, based on a goal of improving humanity, only to see the company pivot to a for-profit venture in 2019. On the witness stand on Tuesday, Altman instead framed Musk as a competitor obsessed with exercising control over OpenAI. "It does not fit with my conception of the words'stealing a charity' to look at what has actually happened here," Altman told the court.

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?'

The Download: a Nobel winner on AI, and the case for fixing everything
Plus: the first zero-day exploit built by AI has been discovered. A few months before he won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2024, Daron Acemoglu published a paper that earned him few fans in Silicon Valley. He argued that AI would give only a small boost to US productivity and would not eliminate the need for human work. Two years later, Acemoglu's measured take has not caught on. The technology has advanced quite a bit since his cautious predictions, but the data is still largely on his side. Here are the three things Acemoglu is paying closest attention to in AI right now .
