AI Monopoly

Elon Musk’s X and xAI have sued Apple and OpenAI, alleging an AI monopoly stemming from their exclusive ChatGPT integration into iPhones. The lawsuit claims this partnership locks out competitors like xAI’s Grok, hindering innovation and consumer choice by granting OpenAI unmatched data access and reinforcing its market dominance. They argue Apple uses the deal to counter the threat of “super apps” and unfairly disadvantages competing AI apps in the App Store, harming consumers. X and xAI seek to dismantle the alleged arrangement and recover billions in damages.
