Apple Defends OpenAI Partnership, Dismisses Musk's Lawsuit
Apple has responded to a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's companies, xAI and X Corp, over its partnership with OpenAI. Apple asserts its right to choose its partners, stating that its deal with OpenAI does not harm Elon Musk's AI startup or limit consumer choice.
In August, Elon Musk's firms sued Apple, alleging that the tech giant's preference for OpenAI stifled innovation and restricted consumer choice. However, Apple has pushed back against these claims. It argues that antitrust laws do not mandate partnerships with every AI provider, allowing it to consider factors such as quality, privacy, safety, and commercial terms.
Apple dismissed the lawsuit as baseless, stating that the claims are 'speculation on top of speculation'. The company maintains that its partnership with OpenAI does not hinder innovation at Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, nor does it limit consumer choice.
