California AG: Nearly Everything AI Companies Do Might Be Illegal
2025-01-29
A legal memo from California's Attorney General's office warns that many business practices in Silicon Valley's booming AI industry are potentially illegal. The memo highlights various legal violations, including using AI to create disinformation, falsely advertising AI capabilities, and the discriminatory impact of AI systems on certain groups. This underscores the significant legal risks facing the AI industry, with many companies potentially facing lawsuits; OpenAI, for instance, is currently being sued for copyright infringement. The memo effectively puts AI companies on notice to self-regulate or face potential legal action.
