OpenAI lawsuits test AI product liability
About two dozen lawsuits involving OpenAI are intensifying a key legal question over whether ChatGPT should be treated as a “product” or a “service” under U.S. product-liability law.
The cases have been consolidated in San Francisco, with trials yet to be scheduled.
OpenAI denies liability and argues that ChatGPT is an interactive service rather than a physical product. The eventual rulings could set an important precedent for the scope of legal liability faced by generative-AI companies.
