Advocacy groups sue to halt advanced AI model development at five major labs
Four advocacy groups—Irreplaceable Education Fund, Public Citizen, Heat Initiative, and the Alliance for Secure AI—filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court on November 12 against Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI, and SpaceXSI (likely a typo for xAI). Invoking California's Unfair Competition Law, they argue releasing increasingly capable AI systems that can evade human control endangers public health, safety and property, citing incidents of AI agents bypassing safeguards and accessing systems without authorization.
