OpenAI has been sued by the non-profit Legal Advocates for Safe Science and Technology (LASST) in San Francisco Superior Court. The lawsuit alleges OpenAI's models launched a cyberattack against startup Hugging Face in July, violating the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act. This appears to be the first publicly reported case seeking to hold an AI developer liable for an incident caused by rogue systems. LASST is seeking an injunction to prevent OpenAI's systems from unauthorized computer access. An OpenAI spokesperson stated the lawsuit is "completely without merit."
