OpenAI accused xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, of the “systematic and intentional destruction” of evidence in their ongoing legal dispute. The ChatGPT maker is alleging that the startup failed to produce relevant documents because employees utilized ephemeral messaging tools to auto-delete communications. OpenAI is seeking a court order to halt the practice and is requesting a forensic inspector to investigate the missing data.
