\n Elon Musk took the stand for a second day of testimony against OpenAI and its leaders in a lawsuit that could reshape the future of artificial intelligence, as the emerging technology has sent ripples through the economy and financial markets.\n <\/p>\n

\n Musk claims OpenAI betrayed its initial nonprofit mission when it changed its corporate structure; OpenAI, for its part, claims Musk\u2019s suit is meant to derail its position as a competitor to his own artificial intelligence company, xAI.\n <\/p>\n

\n The trial comes as OpenAI is planning what could be a blockbuster IPO \u2013 and potentially a cash infusion that could help the company cement its early lead in a global race to dominate AI.\n <\/p>\n

\n In emails presented as evidence, Musk was also shown saying he needs to have control of the proposed corporation.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI needed to make sure it would go in the right direction and I was providing almost all the money,\u201d he told the court.\n <\/p>\n

\n When the other co-founders expressed concern over such a set up, Musk told the court he believed they had \u201cgone back on what they had previously agreed\u201d and \u201cwhat they really wanted to do is create a for-profit where they had as much…<\/p>\n
