by The Tech billionaire Elon Musk submitted a lawsuit against Apple and Chatgpt Creator Openaai on Monday.
As part of the lawsuit, he claimed that the two companies are involved in monopolistic cooperation that brings its own chat bot for artificial intelligence (AI), GROK, with a competitive disadvantage.
What else do we know about the Xai lawsuit?
Musks Ki -Startup, XAI, claims in the lawsuit in Texas, Apple prevents other chatbots from wrestling over chatt in his app store, and thus starved competitors such as valuable user interactions to which the software improves.
Apple and Openaai have therefore “locked up markets to maintain their monopolies and prevent innovators like Xai at the competition,” said Musks.
“If not for his exclusive deal with Openai, Apple would have no reason to emphasize the Grok app in his App Store.”
Musk later wrote on his X platform on Monday and repeated the allegations in the lawsuit and said: “A million ratings with 4.9 average for @GROK and yet Apple refuses to mention GROK on all lists.”
Apple, who integrated chatt into its operating system for iPhones, iPads and Macs as part of his partnership with Openaai, replied two weeks ago on Musk’s initial threat by a lawsuit by insisting that his app was fair and preferred to anyone.
“This latest submission is in accordance with Mr. Musk’s persistent pattern of harassment,” added an Openai spokesman in an explanation.
Why is Musk’s KI lawsuit important?
Openais Chatgpt became the fastest growing consumer app in history in the months after the start at the end of 2022.
Musks Xai was launched a few months later in March 2023 and in March this year X acquired X for $ 33 billion to use the platform to improve the chat bot training functions.
From the point of view of Xai, the 65% share of Apple in the US smartphone market and the 85% share of Openai in the AI Chatbot market places cooperation between the two monopoly.
Right -wing experts observe the case exactly because it shows us the first opportunity that we apply whether a defined market for AI exists and what it could include.
“It is a canary in the coal mining in relation to how dishes treat AI and treat antitrust law and AI,” Professor Christine Bartholomew from the Buffalo School of Law told the Reuters news agency.
