Elon Musk and Sam Altman's OpenAI have agreed to expedite a trial to hear their dispute over the company's for-profit transition.
Elon Musk and Sam Altman, despite their history of public disagreements, have found common ground in their concerns about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). Both tech moguls have expressed worries about AI's potential to cause significant societal disruptions, including job displacement and the spread of misinformation. Musk, who has been vocal about AI's existential risks, and Altman, who leads OpenAI, have both advocated for a more cautious approach to AI development. They emphasize the need for regulatory oversight to ensure AI is developed in a way that benefits humanity while mitigating potential harms. This rare alignment of views was highlighted in recent discussions where they both called for a pause in the development of advanced AI systems to assess and address these risks.
