Elon Musk testifies that xAI trained Grok on OpenAI models
During court testimony, Elon Musk acknowledged that his company, xAI, utilized models from OpenAI to train its own Grok language model. This admission comes amid a contentious legal battle between Musk and OpenAI, raising complex questions about the legality and ethics of using one company's AI outputs to train a competitor's system.
MY TAKE
The admission confirms long-held suspicions and could set a major legal precedent for AI development. This will force a broader conversation about data provenance and terms of service in an industry that has often operated in a gray area.
