诉讼称 Anthropic、OpenAI、SpaceXAI 与 Google 就放缓 AI 开发达成非法协议
四名 ChatGPT、Claude、Grok 或 Gemini 付费订阅用户提起拟议集体诉讼，指控上述模型开发商违反反垄断法，通过协议放缓 AI 开发，从而降低付费订阅用户获得的价值。诉状称协调始于 2026 年 7 月多家头部 AI 实验室员工签署的声明，该声明承认存在“不单方面放缓”的激烈竞争压力；并指 9 月 12 日 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 发文呼吁全行业合作减速后，OpenAI CEO Sam Altman、SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk 与 Google DeepMind 联合创始人 Demis Hassabis 同日公开表示赞同。原告律师 Nick Rowley 称不应让 AI 安全由强大营利科技公司的私下协议控制。报道称涉事公司代表未立即回应，特朗普政府曾否决相关设想，中国官方媒体亦批评该呼吁是对中国竞争的回应。

Tom's Hardware reports:
Four plaintiffs subscribed to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or Gemini filed a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging that the developers of these AI models violated antitrust laws when they agreed to slow AI development. According to the Associated Press, the lawsuit argues that this agreement would "reduce the value consumers get for paid AI subscriptions" and that this coordination started in July 2026 after the leading AI labs signed a statement admitting there is "intense competitive pressure not to unilaterally slow" development.
The plaintiffs recognize the need for AI development to slow for the sake of safety, but they say that Anthropic founder Dario Amodei's cooperation proposal is a "shortcut" that "substitutes collective restraint for individual accountability." Attorney Nick Rowley, the lead counsel for the plaintiffs, says, "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."
"Representatives for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and SpaceXAI did not immediately respond..."
reports the Associated Press:
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. That same day, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk and Google DeepMind's co-founder and chair Demis Hassabis each publicly responded to Amodei's proposals in agreement. But the lawsuit also alleges that the coordination began to take shape months earlier. It points to a statement from July 2026 that high-ranking employees from several of the leading AI labs signed that acknowledged the "intense competitive pressure not to unilaterally slow" development. That statement called on the government to support a global effort to slow automated AI development.
Sam Altman even specificially said "we do not believe we need to wait for an antitrust exemption or legislation to begin the work of providing this confidence," notes Tom's Hardware.
However, the Trump administration shot down this idea... Chinese state media also criticized this announcement, saying that the call to put the brakes on AI development is nothing but a response to Chinese competition, especially as Amodei's essay explicitly mentioned the desire to slow China's progress and widen the U.S.'s gap over Beijing
