American district court judge Rita F. Lin approved xAI's emergency temporary restraining order motion against key AI researcher Xue Chenli, who helped develop the popular Grok chatbot.
Specifically, Judge Lin stated that Li has three days to "temporarily surrender control and access to any personal electronic devices, online repositories, or other electronic storage devices." Li is a Stanford University alumnus and Canadian permanent resident who joined xAI's technical team of about 20 engineers in late February 2024. When xAI raised this issue, Li's lawyer responded that Li "doesn't remember" the password, even claiming not to remember other accounts, despite recently using them. The court prohibited him from working on any generative AI projects at OpenAI until all stolen data was confirmed to be deleted. Legal experts pointed out that this case may have an impact on employment practices in the AI industry.
Netizens said: "Greed leads to self-destruction! It's bad enough to ruin one's own career, but he also set up a roadblock for other Chinese students abroad! The harm is significant, and I support Elon Musk in imposing a professional ban on him!"
I believe: "Those who think they are smart often fall into their own traps, adding insult to injury for Chinese people who already have a bad reputation. His career is completely ruined, his credibility is gone, and no company will hire him."
