The Aggressive Ambition of Elon Musk's AI Empire The recent court testimony from Sam Altman, co founder and CEO of OpenAI, has shed light on a previously unknown aspect of Elon Musk's attempts to take control of the artificial intelligence (AI) company.
According to Altman, Musk wanted more control over OpenAI and suggested that it become a subsidiary of his electric vehicle company, Tesla.
Musk's desire for control is not new; he has publicly stated that AI poses an existential risk to humanity.
