PANews reported on June 16 that a U.S. federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's AI company xAI against rival OpenAI, which accused OpenAI of stealing trade secrets. Judge Rita Lin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Francisco stated that xAI failed to prove that OpenAI induced former xAI engineer Xuechen Li to misappropriate trade secrets, nor that he disclosed xAI's trade secrets in a demonstration he gave during his recruitment process at OpenAI. The judge stated that allowing xAI to continue the lawsuit would be "futile." She had previously dismissed an earlier version of the lawsuit in February of this year.
