Tech titans Elon Musk and Sam Altman will square off in court this week over allegations that Altman's OpenAI abandoned its founding mission in pursuit of profit.
Musk was an early investor in OpenAI when it launched as a nonprofit in 2015, but he eventually cut ties with the company in 2018 and launched a competing AI project in 2023. Although OpenAI launched as a nonprofit, mission-driven organization, it has evolved into a for-profit entity now valued at $852 billion, the Associated Press reported.
