Elon Musk's xAI has initiated legal proceedings against Apple and OpenAI, alleging anti-competitive practices within the AI sector. The core of the lawsuit centres around the integration of OpenAI's technology into Apple's iPhones, which xAI argues creates an unfair advantage, stifling competition and innovation among other AI developers.
The lawsuit claims Apple and OpenAI are colluding to prevent other AI companies from reaching the top of the App Store. Musk had previously threatened to sue, insisting that Apple's actions constituted an antitrust violation.
The legal action could have significant implications for the future of AI development and competition within the industry. The suit claims Apple's integration of OpenAI's technology into iPhones creates an anti-competitive ecosystem that sidelines rivals.
