The lawsuit accuses the company of failing to warn users that ChatGPT could be dangerous and instead marketing it as safe and reliable.

Musk had sought to oust Altman from his leadership position over claims that he and others breached their duty to OpenAI's original nonprofit mission and unjustly enriched themselves.

The trial pits two of tech's most famous personalities against each other and could lead to seismic changes for the maker of ChatGPT.

Musk's lawyers say OpenAI leaders "stole a charity" and Musk warns about the potential dangers of AI: "We don't want to have a Terminator outcome."

The former OpenAI business partners are embroiled in a high-stakes dispute over the future of one of the world's top AI companies.

No one was injured at Altman's home or the company offices, authorities said.

The company, maker of the popular ChatGPT chatbot, said its board would be remade without many of the members who had opposed Altman and voted for his removal late last week.

The surprise development follows Altman's abrupt ouster from OpenAI by its board of directors over an apparent rift over balancing AI safety with the push to publicly release new powerful AI tools.

The company's board said Friday it has pushed out its co-founder and CEO after a review found he was "not consistently candid in his communications" with the board.

The project is called Worldcoin. It was co-founded by Sam Altman of ChatGPT fame. Its mission is to authenticate all the world's humans, one eyeball scan at a time.
