一份新诉讼声称,Anthropic、OpenAI、SpaceXAI及谷歌达成非法协议,以放缓各自的人工智能开发进度。
这份于周五向美国加利福尼亚北区联邦地区法院提起的诉讼指出,这些顶尖AI企业达成协调减速的协议,违反了反垄断法,此举将降低消费者为付费AI订阅服务所获得的价值。
诉讼称,此次协调主要发生在9月12日,当日Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊发表文章,呼吁全行业合作放缓AI技术进步,转而强化安全措施。
阿莫代伊警告称,失控的AI代理集群可能在短短六个月内接管互联网。他表示,AI企业应当以更谨慎、更缓慢的步伐推进这项技术的开发。阿莫代伊随后在一篇博客文章中提出了三点计划,称其目标是“为前沿发展划定节奏”。
“我当时没有完全意识到,当AI进步像现在这样快时,实际情况会是什么样,”这位首席执行官在接受哥伦比亚广播公司资深商业与科技记者乔·林恩·肯特在《CBS新闻周日早间》节目采访时说道。
诉讼称,阿莫代伊的竞争对手——OpenAI的山姆·奥尔特曼、SpaceXAI的埃隆·马斯克以及谷歌DeepMind的德米斯·哈萨比斯——在同一天确认了这项协议。
“反垄断法不允许竞争者自行认定竞争过于危险,”原告方辩称。

代表四名原告的律师团队(这四人均付费订阅了ChatGPT、Claude、Grok或Gemini服务),正代表拟议中的全国范围内此类服务的其他付费订阅者群体提起诉讼。
“如果我们任由全球最强大的‘营利性’科技公司之间私下达成的自私自利的协议来管控AI安全和相关规程,AI将迅速脱离人类控制,甚至可能彻底毁灭我们,”原告方首席律师尼克·罗利说道。
Anthropic、OpenAI、谷歌及SpaceXAI的代表在周六未立即回应置评请求。
在最初提出减速倡议的文章中,阿莫代伊承认可能面临反垄断挑战,他写道,美国政府出面调解“或至少促成”这些跨实验室的对话将有所帮助。他写道,政府无需直接参与,但需要“为某些类型的安全对话发布有限豁免权”。
“如果我们研发方式得当,我认为发生坏事的概率极低,”阿莫代伊在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示。“如果研发方式不当,发生坏事的概率就会非常高。”
Lawsuit says Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and Google made illegal deal on AI slowdown

A new lawsuit claims Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and Google made an illegal deal to slow the pace of their respective AI development.
The lawsuit, which was filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, argues the leading AI companies violated antitrust laws when they agreed to coordinate slowdown efforts, and that doing so would reduce the value consumers get for paid AI subscriptions.
The coordination largely took place on Sept. 12, the lawsuit argues, when Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging for industrywide cooperation on decelerating advancements in favor of enhanced safety measures.
Amodei warned that swarms of rogue AI agents could take over the internet in as little as six months. He said AI companies should move forward more cautiously and slowly and with the development of the technology. Amodei then suggested a three-point plan in a blog post, which he said had the goal of “pacing the frontier.”
“I don’t think I fully just appreciated what it would actually be like when the progress was as fast as it was,” the CEO told CBS senior business and technology correspondent Jo Ling Kent in an interview on “CBS News Sunday Morning.
Amodei’s rivals — OpenAI’s Sam Altman, SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk and Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis — confirmed their agreement the same day, the lawsuit said.
“The antitrust laws do not permit competitors to decide among themselves that competition is too dangerous,” the plaintiffs argue.

Lawyers representing four named plaintiffs, who pay for subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini, are bringing the suit on behalf of a proposed nationwide class of other paid subscribers to those services.
“AI will quickly spin out of human control and could kill us all if we allow AI safety and protocol … to be controlled by private self-serving agreements between the world’s most powerful ‘for profit’ technology companies,” said Nick Rowley, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs.
Representatives for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and SpaceXAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.
In his initial essay proposing the slowdown, Amodei acknowledged potential antitrust challenges, writing it would be helpful for the U.S. government to mediate “or at least enable” these cross-lab discussions. The government wouldn’t need to participate, he wrote, but would need to “issue a narrow waiver for certain kinds of safety conversations.”
“If we build in the right way, I think the probability of something bad happening is very low,” Amodei said during his interview with CBS News. “If we build in the wrong way, the probability of something bad happening is very high.”
