Ngokombiko we-NBC News, nakuba i-xAI yafaka icala, ukuvinjelwa esifundazweni saseMinnesota e-United States kwezinhlelo ezingaguqula izithombe zibe “ezinqunu” kusengaqala ukusebenza ngesikhathi esihleliwe.
Ijaji lenkantolo yesifunda yase-United States, uDonovan Frank, lithe esinqumweni salo ukuthi isinqumo salo sisekelwe hhayi emthethweni kuphela, kodwa nasekutheni i-xAI yalifaka nini icala.
UFrank waveza ukuthi i-xAI yafaka isicelo somyalelo wesikhashana wokuvimbela mhla zingama-29 kuJulayi 2026, cishe sekudlule izinyanga ezintathu kusukela lo mthetho wasayinwa ngokusemthethweni, futhi sekusele izinsuku ezintathu kuphela ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukusebenza ngokusemthethweni mhla lu-1 kuNcwaba.
Wabhala wathi: “Ukulibazisa kangaka ukufaka icala nokucela umyalelo wesikhashana wokuvimbela kukhombisa ukuthi umonakalo okuthiwa ukhona awusondeli ngokuphuthumayo.”
Nokho, lokhu akusho ukuthi icala le-xAI eliphikisana nalokhu kuvinjelwa seliphelile; kusho kuphela ukuthi lo mthetho ungaqala ukusebenza ngesikhathi icala lisaqhubeka nokulalelwa.
Ecaleni, i-xAI ithi lokhu kuvinjelwa kungumthetho wokuqala e-United States oqondiswe ezinhlelweni zalolu hlobo, kodwa ububanzi bemikhawulo yawo “budlulele”, futhi iphikisa ngokuthi kukhona “ezinye izindlela ezinemikhawulo emincane, kodwa ezingafeza inhloso efanayo yomthetho.”
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, abasebenzisi benkundla yezokuxhumana i-X, ephethwe ngu-Elon Musk, (manje i-X ne-xAI sekuhlanganiswe zombili ngaphansi kwe-SpaceX) basebenzisa irobhothi lengxoxo i-Grok le-xAI ukuze bakhiqize ngobuningi enkundleni izithombe ezingcolile zabantu ngaphandle kwemvume yalabo ababonisiwe. Lesi sigameko saholela ekuphenyweni kwabalawuli, kwaze kwaba nemisebenzi ethile eyavinjelwa noma yancishiswa.
