OpenAI has faced multiple legal challenges concerning its AI technologies. A Georgia state court ruled in favor of OpenAI in what is believed to be the first generative AI defamation lawsuit, involving a radio talk show host who claimed ChatGPT falsely accused him of embezzlement. This ruling marks a precedent but does not resolve broader legal debates over AI-generated misinformation or hallucinations. Separately, Elon Musk and his legal team have filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI, criticizing the company’s shift from a non-profit, open-source model to a for-profit, closed-source entity. Meanwhile, Anthropic, another AI startup, is defending its use of copyrighted materials to train its AI chatbot Claude before Senior US District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco. The judge has indicated a leaning toward considering the training as fair use, although he suggested that authors might still pursue claims related to the initial acquisition of copyrighted works, which were allegedly obtained from pirated sources. This case is closely watched as it follows Judge Alsup’s previous rulings on fair use in AI training contexts, including the Google v. Oracle case. Additionally, a U.S. judge blocked authors from introducing new claims against Microsoft and OpenAI in a consolidated class action alleging copyright infringement by AI models, including antitrust accusations. These legal developments highlight ongoing judicial scrutiny over the use of copyrighted content in AI training and the responsibilities of AI companies regarding misinformation.
