Elon Musk demandó a Apple y OpenAI por favorecer injustamente a la aplicación de inteligencia artificial en los iPhones, acusándolos de obstaculizar la competencia de otros desarrolladores de chatbots. Según Musk, Apple hace imposible que alguien distinto de OpenAI alcance los primeros lugares en las listas de la App Store, una vitrina global muy codiciada por los desarrolladores de aplicaciones.
Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing the two companies of unfairly favoring OpenAI's ChatGPT in the iPhone's AI chatbot market. According to Musk, Apple's exclusive arrangement with OpenAI has made it impossible for other AI chatbot developers to reach the top of the App Store charts, which is a highly coveted position for app developers.The lawsuit, filed by Musk's xAI in a Texas court, alleges that Apple and OpenAI's partnership has created a monopoly, preventing competitors like xAI's Grok from gaining significant market share. Musk argues that Apple's decision to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into the iPhone's operating system and its preferential treatment of OpenAI's app in the App Store rankings have harmed competition and deprived consumers of choice.
Apple has maintained that the App Store is designed to be fair and unbiased, featuring apps based on objective criteria. However, Musk's lawsuit contends that Apple has deprioritized competing AI chatbot apps and prolonged their App Store review processes, further favoring OpenAI's ChatGPT.
The legal battle between Musk and Apple is part of a broader competition for AI supremacy among top tech leaders. Musk's lawsuit comes after a series of public exchanges between Musk and OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, who has accused Musk of manipulating X to benefit himself and harm competitors.
The lawsuit marks a significant development in the ongoing AI wars, with each company and individual vying for dominance in the AI market. The outcome of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications for the AI industry, potentially setting a precedent for future competition and regulation.
