US judge dismisses xAI trade-secrets lawsuit against rival OpenAI for now
A federal judge in California on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI that accused rival Sam Altman’s OpenAI of stealing its trade secrets.
US District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco said that xAI could refile its case, but for now has failed to allege that OpenAI committed any misconduct. The lawsuit, filed in September, claimed that former xAI employees took source code related to its Grok chatbot and other confidential information with them when they left for new jobs at OpenAI.
