xAI sues an ex-employee for allegedly stealing trade secrets about Grok
According to the lawsuit, the AI researcher "willfully and maliciously" copied Grok trade secrets before starting his role at OpenAI.
In a lawsuit filed earlier this week, xAI claimed that former employee Xuechen Li stole the company's confidential info and trade secrets before joining the team at OpenAI. This confidential info could result in a potential edge for rival companies in the AI market and "could save OpenAI and other competitors billions in R&D dollars and years of engineering effort," xAI said in the lawsuit. xAI is asking the courts to file a temporary restraining order that forces its former employee to give up access to any personal devices or online storage services and return any confidential material to the company.
