OpenAI and billionaire Elon Musk have agreed to fast-track their ongoing legal battle over the AI company’s transition to a for-profit model, according to a federal court filing on Friday.
The case, which has become a high-profile dispute between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is set to go to trial in December.
The filing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California indicates that both parties have postponed the decision on whether the case will be determined by a jury or solely by the judge. Earlier this month, a judge denied Musk’s request to halt OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit structure but approved an expedited trial set for the autumn.
