Lawsuit says Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and Google made illegal agreement on AI slowdown
The complaint says the companies’ public agreement to slow AI progress reduced competition and lowered the value of paid subscriptions, plaintiffs said.
- On Friday, a civil lawsuit was filed in the Northern District Court of California alleging that Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Google engaged in illegal collusion to coordinate a slowdown in AI development.
- Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei issued a plea for "industry-wide coordination" to "pace the frontier," drawing prompt agreement from Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Demis Hassabis.
- The complaint alleges a violation of the Sherman Act, with plaintiffs including Cheyenne Hunt arguing the pact restricts competition to help corporations dodge public pressure.
- Hunt stated, "If these companies actually believe their products could risk human extinction," arguing that four CEOs should not make such decisions behind closed doors.
- Lawyer Nick Rowley said, "Humanity deserves iron clad safeguards," asserting the suit aims to prevent private arrangements from sidelining regulatory oversight on extinction threats.
