It’s not just Elon Musk: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI confronting a mountain of legal challenges

Associated Press  

After a year of basking in global fame, the San Francisco company OpenAI is now confronting a multitude of challenges that could threaten its position at the vanguard of artificial intelligence research. It’s too early to tell if OpenAI and its attorneys will beat back a barrage of lawsuits from Elon Musk, The New York Times and bestselling novelists such as John Grisham, not to mention escalating scrutiny from government regulators, or if any of it will stick. Feud with Elon Musk OpenAI isn’t waiting for the court process to unfold before publicly defending itself against legal claims made by billionaire Elon Musk, an early funder of OpenAI who now alleges it has betrayed its founding nonprofit mission to benefit humanity as it pursued profits instead. “Even though they’re a privately held company, it’s very much in the public interest to know what happened at OpenAI.” Government scrutiny OpenAI’s close business ties to Microsoft have invited scrutiny from antitrust regulators in the U.S. and Europe. Copyright lawsuits Bestselling novelists, nonfiction authors, The New York Times and other media outlets have sued OpenAI over allegations that the company violated copyright laws in building the AI large language models that power ChatGPT.
