Summary

Tech titans Elon Musk and Sam Altman are set to face off in court this week in a case centered on OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model. Musk alleges Altman and his company have strayed from their founding mission to develop artificial intelligence for the good of humanity rather than corporate profit (OpenAI denies the allegations). But is this just petty billionaire beef, or could it tell us something about our own AI futures? --- Guest: Hadas Gold, CNN AI Correspondent Host: David Rind Producer: Paola Ortiz Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo: Carlos Barria/Kenny Holston/Pool/Reuters Learn more about your ad choices.
