A legal dispute between OpenAI and co-founder Elon Musk has escalated into a wider debate about the existential risks of artificial intelligence, after Musk warned in court that unchecked AI development could pose a threat to humanity.
Testifying during proceedings over OpenAI's corporate structure and mission, Musk described what he called the 'worst-case situation' as a 'Terminator situation,' arguing that advanced AI systems, if developed without strict safeguards, could become uncontrollable and dangerous to human life.
