    Musk vs. Altman & The Battle for The Soul of AI
    Apr 26 2026
    Tech titans Elon Musk and Sam Altman are set to face off in court this week in a case centered on OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model.

But is this just petty billionaire beef, or could it tell us something about our own AI futures? --- Guest: Hadas Gold, CNN AI Correspondent Host: David Rind Producer: Paola Ortiz Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo: Carlos Barria/Kenny Holston/Pool/Reuters Learn more about your ad choices.
