It&#8217;s a legal battle between Elon Musk and Sam Altman. In December 2015, the U.S. media broadcast the trial over OpenAI, an artificial intelligence (AI) company co-founded by the two, live like a &#8220;morning drama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The drama is exploding the viewer&#8217;s dopamine, citing the &#8220;presidential&#8221; power and the stark private lives of billionaires who have accumulated more than $670 billion (about 1,000 trillion won). There were all kinds of shoddy quarrels between the two, and it was even revealed that Musk&#8217;s lover was a spy on the OpenAI board.\n<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI initially started as a non-profit organization to prevent certain companies from having huge AI power. However, with the advent of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, the Generative AI exploded and transformed into a golden egg that erodes wealth and resources around the world. Musk&#8217;s main point of the lawsuit is that OpenAI violated the agreement to establish a non-profit organization that requires it to abuse its funds and put the public interest above commercial interests. He claims that his initial investment of 38 million dollars (about 57 billion won) was robbed and is seeking 150 billion dollars (about 225 trillion won) in damages.\n<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of the trial is likely to change the topography of Silicon Valley. This is because if OpenAI, which boasts the world&#8217;s No. 1 user in the chatbot market, is hit hard, rivals Anthropic and Musk&#8217;s xAI could benefit. There is no permanent enemy or comrade in this war. The recent signing of a lease contract between Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Musk for data center is also evidence of how fierce the AI hegemony war is.\n<\/p>\n<p>Demis Hassabis, the founder of Google DeepMind, who is respected like Prometheus, who brought fire to mankind, came to Korea during the trial. This is to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Go match between Lee Se-dol and AI AlphaGo. AlphaGo&#8217;s appearance and open AI start-ups took place around the same time. However, unlike the two greedy American giants, Hassabis, who works in a tranquil environment in London, England, is looking elsewhere. It aims to accelerate the treatment of incurable diseases and scientific discovery through biotechnology.\n<\/p>\n<p>The four heroes are sprinting while looking elsewhere, but the stakes are so high that only one or two people will survive in the end, making it increasingly likely that they will hold the &#8220;absolute ring&#8221; of ultra-artificial intelligence (ASI). This is why the future of mankind is at stake in the trial of this century.\n<\/p>\n<p>[Kim Seulgi, deputy head of global economy department]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 Kim Seul-ki, Deputy Director of Global Economy Since three weeks ago, the &#8220;Trial of the Century&#8221;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-321392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
