OpenAI, Google, Anthropic hit with lawsuit to halt AI development

Agencies

The nonprofits, which focus on tech accountability and include the Irreplaceable Education Fund, Public Citizen and Heat Initiative, sued in San Francisco, saying California's laws against unfair business practices provide the grounds for a court order barring the companies from further development of products like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. The lawsuit cites comments from company leaders, like Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic, and Elon Musk, SpaceX's chief executive, about AI's potential to cause the destruction of civilisation.
