April 27 (UPI) -- The trial in Elon Musk's lawsuit challenging OpenAI's for-profit status is set to begin Monday in California.
The case pits two of the biggest artificial juggernauts -- Musk, owner of xAI, and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI -- against each other. The outcome of the trial could have a large impact on OpenAI, which, as the creator of ChatGPT, is one of the world's most influential AI companies, NPR reported.
Musk and Altman together created OpenAI with others in 2015 as a nonprofit research lab with the goal of benefiting humanity without being beholden to shareholders.
Musk left the company in 2018 and now accuses it of betraying its initial nonprofit status, The New York Times reported.
