Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has accused rival OpenAI of stealing its trade secrets in a new lawsuit, the latest in Musk’s legal assault on his former business partner, Sam Altman.
The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in California federal court, alleged that OpenAI was engaged in a “deeply troubling pattern” of hiring away former xAI employees to gain access to trade secrets related to its AI chatbot Grok. The company says OpenAI is pursuing unfair advantages in the race to develop AI technology.
