Musk and Altman are facing tests that will determine the future of OpenAI

Through the lawsuit, OpenAI accused Musk of taking too much credit for OpenAI’s success. Specifically, Musk’s expert says removed The scientists and programmers who launched ChatGPT as “paid zero percent of the current cost,” OpenAI said.

A star-studded list of witnesses

Musk and Altman could testify for more than two hours each, along with other top tech leaders maybe he will be called as a witness about the case.

Brockman is expected to stand for 2.5 hours and possibly longer, while fellow Microsoft representative Satya Nadella is expected to stand for an hour.

Sutskever is also on the witness list, where he was given 30 minutes, as was Shivon Zilis, one of Musk’s associates and the mother of his four children. Zilis could be a key witness, since Altman foolishly confided in him. In his deposition, Altman called Zilis “the Elon whisperer,” emphasizing that he had no knowledge of his relationship with Musk at the time or he would not have turned to him for guidance on how to manage their relationship.

The trial could last up to four weeks, and no witness will receive special treatment, Gonzalez Rogers said, ordering all witnesses to use the court’s front door to enter the courtroom. This should make for interesting pictures as Silicon Valley insiders prepare for the trial to reveal more “gossip,” NBC News reported. report.

For Musk, the escalation of the case may be disappointing, as reports do not count his AI company among OpenAI’s biggest competitors. In fact, Reuters reported that OpenAI “faces unprecedented competition” from Anthropic—recently its value is $1 trillion– and say that xAI is “lagging behind OpenAI in terms of usage.” Similarly, NBC News cited Anthropic and Google as OpenAI’s main competitors.

At Musk’s deposition, OpenAI’s lawyers revealed a plan to fight Musk’s lawsuit. He asked Musk if he still sees AGI as an “existential threat,” considering that he runs an AI company that, unlike OpenAI, no longer wants to be framed as a “for-profit company.”

“It has a risk,” Musk said, as he seemed unwilling to accept any controversy in his idea of ​​starting a for-profit AI company.
