Abstract generation in progress

Golden Finance reports that on April 29, Elon Musk stated in front of a federal jury that artificial intelligence “could kill all of us,” placing AI safety at the core of his lawsuit against OpenAI.
On the witness stand, Musk compared the uncontrolled risks of AI to “The Terminator,” and said the goal should be a future closer to “Star Trek.” He argued that the original purpose of OpenAI was to prevent powerful AI from being controlled by profit-driven tech giants.
Musk said these concerns intensified after a 2015 conversation with Google co-founder Larry Page, who allegedly accused him of being a “speciesist” for prioritizing humans over future digital intelligence.
The case revolves around Musk’s allegations that OpenAI abandoned its nonprofit mission after ChatGPT helped the company become one of the world’s most valuable AI enterprises. Musk is seeking over $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft.
OpenAI’s lawyers stated that Musk lost a power struggle, left the company, and filed suit after launching his own competing AI company, xAI.
It is expected that Musk will return to court today for cross-examination.
