A coalition of groups, including the Alliance for Secure AI, are suing the five big AI companies. They claim the companies are knowingly developing tools that might exterminate humanity. A representative of the suit claimed, “It is patently illegal for companies to develop and release products they know are unsafe in any respect, let alone have the potential to exterminate the human race.
“We are asking the court to intervene before the risks AI executives have warned us about cause devastating and irreversible harm. AI companies are causing a public nuisance by knowingly developing and deploying AI systems that pose catastrophic risk.”
