Elon Musk vs OpenAI

We are entering week two of a dramatic trial that pits two of the biggest names in tech against each other: Elon Musk and Sam Altman. Musk is suing OpenAI, a company that he co-founded, claiming they betrayed their original mission in order to chase profits. According to him, the fate of the world is at stake. But OpenAI says it’s all sour grapes, and that he's just upset that they did so well after he stepped down. New York Times technology correspondent Mike Isaac has been covering the trial in Oakland, California. He joins us to break down the stakes of the trial, as well as what it’s taught us about the AI race. For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit:
