A public interest law group sued OpenAI over its agents accessing Hugging Face without permission. The suit seeks court-ordered restrictions to prevent future hacks. It argues OpenAI is responsible for the conduct of its agents. The case tests who bears legal responsibility when an agent causes harm. The group filed under California’s Unfair Competition Law. It also cites violations of data access and fraud statutes. The suit asks for an injunction to block unauthorized computer access. California law prevents defendants from escaping liability by arguing AI acted alone. Florida’s attorney general separately asked a court to halt OpenAI’s development. OpenAI faces growing calls for federal intervention.
