SAN FRANCISCO—A Chinese national who was formerly an xAI engineer is being sued by the company for alleged “willful and malicious” stealing of xAI’s trade secrets and documents, including “cutting-edge [artificial intelligence] technologies with features superior to those offered by ChatGPT and other competing products.”
The 29-page federal civil complaint filed on Aug. 28 in the Northern District of California seeks a temporary restraining order, ordering the defendant to surrender all stolen files and documents, as well as injunctions to prevent any others from accessing those materials.
