Landmark AI trial underway as fraud claims dismissed.

Landmark AI trial underway as fraud claims dismissed. A US federal judge has dropped Elon Musk's fraud allegations against OpenAI and Sam Altman, but the case proceeds to trial on breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment claims. Musk seeks up to $134 billion in damages, alleging OpenAI abandoned its founding promise to operate as a nonprofit. The company has since restructured with a for-profit subsidiary, pushing its valuation beyond $850 billion. Jury selection began Monday in what promises to be Silicon Valley's most explosive courtroom battle. The dispute stems from OpenAI's transformation from its 2015 nonprofit origins, with Musk claiming he was deceived about the company's direction and mission to prioritize humanity over profit.
