OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Elon Musk lost his case against OpenAI and its top executives in a high-stakes trial that pitted billionaire against billionaires. But neither side emerged as too sympathetic. Americans’ opinion about artificial intelligence is at a low point with worries over job losses and even humanity’s extinction. Online comments and signs outside the courtroom rooted for neither side. Critics say the real losers are people whose lives are being upended by an AI industry controlled by a few out-of-touch billionaires who can’t get along.
