AI talent wars: OpenAI requests court to dismiss xAI’s allegations; calls them ‘false and unsubstantiated’

OpenAI has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, which claims that the company lured away its employees to steal trade secrets.

OpenAI called the case part of Musk’s “ongoing harassment” and denied all allegations as “false and unsubstantiated.”

In its court filing, OpenAI said, “Under Musk’s leadership, talented xAI employees are leaving in droves, and some are coming to OpenAI to help advance OpenAI’s mission,” Reuters reported citing the filing.
