Jury selection is set to begin in the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman. Musk alleges OpenAI defrauded him when it reorganized into a for-profit business. The trial, taking place in an Oakland federal court, could have significant implications for the AI industry. OpenAI was initially founded as a nonprofit in 2015 with Musk and Altman as co-chairs. The company's reorganization and shift towards a for-profit model is at the center of the dispute. OpenAI's $6.6 billion funding round in October 2024 is also relevant to the case.
