In a remarkable move, a US court has declared Elon Musk’s company xAI’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI admissible. This decision could have far-reaching consequences for the technology market, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence and app development. Musk claims that Apple and OpenAI are colluding to put his chatbot Grok at a disadvantage in the App Store, which is a clear violation of antitrust law.
The lawsuit, filed in August, aims to challenge Apple’s App Store practices. Musk argues that Apple is making it impossible for chatbots other than ChatGPT to reach the top of the App Store charts. Although this claim is considered questionable by experts, federal judge Mark Pittman in Texas has ruled that the lawsuit can proceed.
A central point of the lawsuit is xAI’s demand that Grok be given access to Siri, Apple’s voice assistant. This would allow Grok to significantly expand its functionalities and compete with Apple’s established AI services. If Musk is successful in his lawsuit, Apple and OpenAI could be faced with billions of dollars in damages claims.
The court’s decision to allow the lawsuit now forces all companies involved to submit applications and present their arguments. This could lead to a protracted legal battle that could have a lasting impact on the dynamics of AI development and app distribution. The impact on the market could be significant as the lawsuit raises questions about how to ensure fair competition in the digital age.
