OAKLAND, Calif. \u2014 A federal jury on Monday sided with OpenAI and its top executives in a feud<\/a> with Elon Musk, who accused them of betraying a shared vision for it to guide artificial intelligence\u2019s development as a nonprofit dedicated to humanity\u2019s benefit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Musk, the world\u2019s richest man, was a co-founder of OpenAI, the company that launched in 2015 and went on to create ChatGPT. After investing $38 million in its first years, Musk<\/a> accused OpenAI CEO Sam Altman<\/a> and his top deputy of shifting into a moneymaking mode behind his back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The nine-person jury found that Musk waited too long to file his lawsuit and missed the deadline for the statute of limitations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The jury served in an advisory role, but Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers accepted the verdict Monday as the court\u2019s own and dismissed Musk\u2019s claims. The jury deliberated only two hours before returning its verdict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The trial that began April 27 in Oakland, California shed light on the bitter falling-out between the two Silicon Valley titans and the beginnings of OpenAI, now a company<\/a> valued at $852 billion and moving toward potentially one of the largest initial public offerings in history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Altman and OpenAI claimed there was never a promise to keep OpenAI a nonprofit forever. In fact, they argued, Musk knew this and filed his lawsuit because he couldn\u2019t have unilateral control over the fast-growing AI developer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Musk was seeking damages to be paid to the altruistic efforts of OpenAI\u2019s charitable arm as well as Altman\u2019s ouster from OpenAI\u2019s board. Musk\u2019s decision to stop funding the company contributed to a bitter rift between the former allies. Musk says he was responding to deceptive conduct that OpenAI\u2019s board picked up on when it fired Altman<\/a> as CEO in 2023 before he got his job back<\/a> days later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OAKLAND, Calif. \u2014 A federal jury on Monday sided with OpenAI and its top executives in a feud with Elon Musk, who accused them of betraying a shared vision for it to guide artificial intelligence\u2019s development as a nonprofit dedicated to humanity\u2019s benefit.
