Firms Accused of Coordinated AI Slowdown in Antitrust Lawsuit

A lawsuit has been filed against Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI under the US antitrust law. The plaintiffs, subscribers of these companies' services, claim that the firms coordinated to slow down AI development.

The lawsuit alleges that while individual companies can choose to slow down their own AI advancements, they cannot coordinate this action with other firms. This agreement is considered 'illegal', according to the plaintiffs.

By slowing down AI development, the firms allegedly aim to reduce the value of subscribers' subscriptions. The exact date when this alleged slowdown began is not specified in the source.
