Add ARY News on Google AAResize. A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit on Monday by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company x AI that accused rival Sam Altman’s Open AI of stealing trade secrets for chatbots.
U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco said x AI failed to show that Open AI induced former x AI senior engineer Xuechen Li to divulge confidential information related to its Grok chatbot, or that Open AI engineers knew Li might have disclosed any.
Lin dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, saying it would be “futile” to continue. She dismissed an earlier version in February. The lawsuit originally filed in September focused on broader alleged misappropriation of confidential information, including source code, when xAI employees left for jobs at OpenAI.
