A coalition of online safety and consumer advocacy groups has sued five of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies, asking a California judge to halt the development and deployment of new AI models until the companies can address what the plaintiffs describe as potentially "catastrophic" risks. The lawsuit alleges the companies are violating California unfair competition law by endangering public health and computer systems, arguing that increasingly autonomous AI could ultimately escape human control. The Associated Press reports: The filing, first reported on by The Associated Press, asks a judge to stop Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI and SpaceXSI from developing or deploying new AI models, pointing to documented examples of cyberattacks and other harmful actions by AI systems and the companies' own alarming acknowledgments that their technology has the potential to someday destroy humanity. "No other industry is allowed to treat its own development of unsafe products -- much less ones that could kill us all -- as inevitable," reads the complaint from the Irreplaceable Education Fund, Public Citizen, Heat Initiative and the Alliance for Secure AI. "Plaintiffs bring this suit to stop Defendants from continuing their unlawful path to disaster." [...] The plaintiffs, all nonprofits, allege that the companies named in the lawsuit have violated a California unfair competition law by endangering public health and interfering with the use of property such as computer systems. They claim they've had to divert resources away from other planned work to address the acute harms threatened by each of the companies' advancing AI models. They also warn that the companies' goals of creating AI systems that are broadly as smart as humans and can increasingly manage tasks and learn things autonomously could result in a permanent loss of control of the technology and heighten existential risks to humanity.
