Lawsuits as Far as the Eye Can See

Last week was a challenging one for Open AI, which was named in 13 lawsuits – eight filed by state attorneys generals, five private suits. According to TechPolicy.Press, “The primary charge in the lawsuits is that OpenAI made unfounded claims of safety when its products were, in fact, harmful. In particular, though to varying degrees, the suits emphasize claims made to parents and risks and incidents of harm that children are exposed to. (Also present is a parallel argument that the company falsely claims the product to be generally “trustworthy and reliable.”)”
