Odaily Planet Daily News A U.S. federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI against rival OpenAI, which accused OpenAI of stealing trade secrets. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco, California, stated that xAI failed to prove that OpenAI induced former xAI engineer Xuechen Li to misappropriate trade secrets, nor did it prove that xAI's trade secrets were disclosed during a presentation made by Li while OpenAI was recruiting him. The judge said allowing xAI to proceed with the lawsuit would be "futile." She had previously dismissed an earlier version of the lawsuit in February of this year. (Jin Shi)
