It sounds like a joke, but on September 18, four paying AI users filed a class-action lawsuit against Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI.
The unusual part?
They aren't accusing the companies of developing AI too quickly they claim the companies allegedly agreed to slow AI development down.
The case followed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's proposal for industry-wide coordination to slow frontier AI development for safety reasons.
💬 Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis publicly supported the idea.
⏺ The plaintiffs argue that coordination between competitors could violate antitrust laws.
💬 They do not object to an individual company slowing its own development for safety reasons.
For now, it's just a lawsuit, not a court ruling.
So the industry spent years being criticized for racing ahead without brakes and now it's being sued for trying to hit the brakes.
