Elon Musk's xAI startup has sued Apple and OpenAI. The suit accuses the pair of conspiring to thwart competition for artificial intelligence platforms.

“In a desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly, Apple has joined forces with the company that most benefits from inhibiting competition and innovation in AI: OpenAI, a monopolist in the market for generative AI chatbots,” the lawsuit reads, referring to Apple’s partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its systems.
