OpenAI Faces Wave of Lawsuits Across the United States

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is already facing criticism for the rapid construction of data centers, which is drawing growing opposition, including in the United States. The risks posed by AI—which the executive is accused of downplaying—as well as cyber threats, are also sparking controversy. Now, on top of this negative publicity, OpenAI is facing an unprecedented wave of lawsuits in the United States. In the week of October 12 alone, no fewer than thirteen lawsuits were filed against OpenAI. These suits focus on the risks its product poses to users and the alleged siphoning of data by OpenAI, with particular emphasis on protecting younger users in both areas.
