Summary
The biggest tech trial of the AI era, which ended anticlimactically Monday on procedural grounds for example, by prioritizing the safety and best use cases for AI models over the ability to profit from them. The figures in the trial underline the need to pursue alternatives to the current concentration of power among a handful of AI companies and executives, Krikorian added. This comes as public trust in AI is nosediving. Yes, but: Even if neither side came out looking good, Altman still emerges on stronger footing. Had Musk won, Altman could have been pushed out of OpenAI again, as he was in 2023, PitchBook analyst Harrison Rolfes told Axios.
