OpenAI President Gregory Brockman walks in the courthouse at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building on May 11, 2026 in Oakland, California. A nine-person jury in Oakland began deliberating Monday in the most consequential corporate governance trial in the history of American artificial intelligence, weighing whether OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman violated charitable-trust law when they converted a nonprofit AI research lab into an $852 billion public benefit corporation — and, in doing so, whether the safety obligations that currently bind that company to protect its users would survive a ruling in Musk's favor or quietly dissolve in a fully commercial restructure.
