Elon Musk’s company xAI has filed a federal lawsuit against Minnesota challenging the state’s new law banning “nudification” technology, which uses AI to create fake nude images of real people. The law, set to take effect Saturday, makes Minnesota the first state to outlaw such tools.
Elon Musk accused Apple of unfairly boosting OpenAI’s ChatGPT in its App Store, hindering xAI’s Grok from reaching the top spot. Calling it an antitrust violation, Musk vowed legal action amid intensifying AI competition and Apple’s deep integration with OpenAI
An employee at xAI made a change that “directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic,” which “violated xAI's internal policies and core values,” the company said in an explanation posted late Thursday that promised reforms.
“OpenAI is not for sale, and the board has unanimously rejected Mr Musk's latest attempt to disrupt his competition," said Bret Taylor, chair of OpenAI's board
In May this year, the AI company behind Grok raised $6 billion to accelerate the research and development of future technologies. The company said the funds from the Series B funding round will be used to take xAI's first products to market and build advanced infrastructure
