🔹 Elon Musk just said it under oath. xAI used OpenAI's systems to train Grok. ⚖️ In court testimony last week, Musk confirmed that xAI leveraged access to OpenAI's infrastructure and systems during Grok's development A practice critics are calling AI "distillation" and raising serious legal and ethical questions about. For context: this comes as Musk simultaneously sues OpenAI for alleged breach of its founding mission. The irony is not lost. 📍 What this means for AI governance and data professionals: → Model provenance, knowing how and on what a model was trained is now a legal and compliance question, not just a technical one. → AI "distillation" (training on outputs of rival models) is becoming the new IP battleground. → Enterprise AI teams must now ask vendors: "What was this model trained on?". Building AI on your competitor's foundations while suing them is unprofessional. 📌 The AI industry's legal era has officially begun. ♻️ Follow & Repost if AI ethics and intellectual property matter to your organisation. #TheAICompass #AIEthics #AIGovernance #xAI #AINews
