Elon Musk takes the stand in high-profile trial against OpenAI
埃隆·马斯克在针对 OpenAI 的备受瞩目的庭审中出庭作证
Elon Musk officially began his testimony in the trial he has brought against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and company president Greg Brockman. 埃隆·马斯克正式开始就他针对 OpenAI 首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）和公司总裁格雷格·布罗克曼（Greg Brockman）提起的诉讼进行作证。
The three were on the initial founding team of OpenAI, with Musk investing up to $38 million early on before the co-founders’ relationship soured over disagreements over company structure and mission, including whether or not OpenAI should be folded into Musk-owned Tesla. Musk walked away and, years later, founded xAI — his own direct competitor to OpenAI, which is now owned by Musk’s SpaceX. 这三人曾是 OpenAI 的创始团队成员。马斯克在早期投资了高达 3800 万美元，但随后由于在公司结构和使命上的分歧（包括 OpenAI 是否应并入马斯克旗下的特斯拉），几位联合创始人之间的关系恶化。马斯克最终退出，并在多年后创立了 xAI——这是他自己直接与 OpenAI 竞争的公司，目前由马斯克的 SpaceX 持有。
In recent years, Musk has filed no less than four different lawsuits against OpenAI, many of which have since been dropped or dismissed. This one, though, names Altman, Brockman, Microsoft, and OpenAI itself as plaintiffs, and it has made it to jury trial in a California federal courtroom. It’s expected to draw testimony from AI industry leaders, including Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, and former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati (who is now the founder of her own AI company, Thinking Machines Lab). 近年来，马斯克针对 OpenAI 提起了不少于四起不同的诉讼，其中许多已被撤回或驳回。然而，此次诉讼将奥特曼、布罗克曼、微软以及 OpenAI 本身列为被告，并已在加利福尼亚州联邦法院进入陪审团审判阶段。预计多位人工智能行业领袖将出庭作证，包括微软首席执行官萨提亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）、微软首席技术官凯文·斯科特（Kevin Scott）以及前 OpenAI 首席技术官米拉·穆拉蒂（Mira Murati，她目前是自己人工智能公司 Thinking Machines Lab 的创始人）。
The crux of the suit alleges that OpenAI violated its core mission to build AGI, or artificial general intelligence, that benefits all of humanity, and it also makes allegations of potential fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of OpenAI’s charitable trust. Musk is calling for the court “to strip Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of their positions of authority and the personal financial benefits they extracted from OpenAI’s illicit for-profit operations and conversion” and to unwind OpenAI’s for-profit restructuring, among other things. 该诉讼的核心指控是 OpenAI 违背了其构建造福全人类的通用人工智能（AGI）的核心使命，并指控其存在潜在的欺诈、不当得利以及违反 OpenAI 慈善信托的行为。马斯克要求法院“剥夺萨姆·奥特曼和格雷格·布罗克曼的权力职位，以及他们从 OpenAI 非法营利性运营和转型中获取的个人经济利益”，并要求撤销 OpenAI 的营利性重组等。
