(AP) \u2014 A federal jury on Monday sided with OpenAI and its top executives in\u00a0a feud\u00a0with 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<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=7581\">A humanitarian aid ship from Mexico docks in Havana as US-Cuba tensions escalate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>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,\u00a0Musk\u00a0accused OpenAI\u00a0CEO Sam Altman\u00a0and his top deputy of shifting into a moneymaking mode behind his back.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>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<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=7579\">Georgia Republicans scramble to pick a candidate to take on Democratic Sen.

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<p>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\u00a0fired Altman\u00a0as CEO in 2023 before he\u00a0got his job back\u00a0days later.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=7577\">US prosecutors drop fraud charges against billionaire Indian businessman Gautam Adani<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal jury has 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
