**xAI Sues Apple and OpenAI Over Alleged Anticompetitive Collusion**
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has filed a lawsuit against tech giants Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of anticompetitive collusion. The suit alleges that the two companies have formed a “secret cartel” to suppress competition and dominate the rapidly expanding AI market.
Central to xAI’s complaint is the recently announced partnership that will integrate OpenAI’s ChatGPT into Apple’s operating systems. xAI contends this collaboration constitutes an unlawful agreement designed to create an unfair advantage, thereby excluding rival AI developers and limiting consumer choice. The legal action marks a significant escalation in the ongoing competitive landscape of the global AI industry.
