一場高風險的法律戰在科技界拉開序幕，前 xAI 工程師 Devin Kim 對 xAI 與 SpaceX 提起訴訟。
A high-stakes legal battle has emerged in the tech world as former xAI engineer Devin Kim files a lawsuit against xAI and SpaceX.
現任人工智慧安全中心領導人的 Kim 指稱，他於 2025 年 9 月遭到解僱，原因是他對公司旗下的 AI 聊天機器人 Grok 提出了迫切的安全疑慮，隨後遭到報復。
Kim, who now leads the Center for AI Safety, claims he was fired in September 2025 in retaliation for raising urgent safety concerns about the company's AI chatbot, Grok.
根據訴狀，Kim 曾警告高層，xAI 為求快速發展而忽略了使用者暴露於有害內容的風險，其中包括製造武器的指令。
According to the complaint, Kim warned leadership that xAI’s push for rapid development risked users being exposed to harmful content, including instructions for weapons.
該訴訟明確點名前共同創辦人 Jimmy Ba，指控他積極阻撓安全防護機制，並以令人震驚的冷漠態度拒絕採納相關意見。
The lawsuit specifically identifies former co-founder Jimmy Ba, alleging he actively blocked safety guardrails and dismissed concerns with alarming indifference.
這項訴訟於 2026 年 6 月在加州提出，時間點恰好在 SpaceX 的 IPO 前夕，Kim 尋求針對不當解僱的賠償。
Filed in California in June 2026—just before a major SpaceX IPO—the lawsuit seeks damages for wrongful termination.
