Elon Musk’s only AI expert witness at the OpenAI trial fears an AGI arms race

# Elon Musk Calls on AI Expert to Warn Against "Race to the Bottom" In his legal fight with OpenAI, Elon Musk brought in Stuart Russell, a respected AI researcher, to testify that powerful AI companies are competing recklessly to build the most advanced systems without adequate safety safeguards. Russell argues that governments should step in to slow down this competition, warning that without regulations, companies will keep pushing harder and faster just to stay ahead of each other—potentially creating dangerous AI systems. Essentially, Musk's legal team is using Russell's testimony to make the case that the AI industry needs someone to pump the brakes before things spiral out of control.
