Alphabet, OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceXAI face a new antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Paid subscribers filed the legal action alleging the companies formed an illegal agreement to coordinate and slow AI development.
The plaintiffs argue this collusion violates antitrust laws by reducing the value and capabilities of consumer subscriptions.
The case examines whether private safety discussions between the tech giants functioned as illegal coordination to limit competitive pressure.
