Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Apple, accusing them of anticompetitive behavior in the AI industry. The lawsuit claims that the partnership between Apple and OpenAI is a conspiracy to monopolize the markets for smartphones and generative AI chatbots, hindering xAI’s ability to compete with its Grok chatbot. Filed in a Texas court, the lawsuit seeks to undo the Apple-OpenAI deal and recover billions in damages. The legal battle is the latest in a series of disputes between Musk and OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, who have had a public falling out since Musk’s departure from OpenAI in 2018.
