OpenAI’s lawyers argue Musk’s lawsuit aims to undermine the company for his competing venture, xAI.
Plaintiffs accuse OpenAI of not alerting authorities to signs of a threat, leading to a school shooting in February.
In his lawsuit, Musk said OpenAI cofounder and president betrayed him and public by turning into profit-seeking firm.
The case over OpenAI's history and public commitments could have major implications for the future of AI.
The trial’s outcome could sway the balance of power in AI, and jury selection starts on Monday.
