AI transparency laws across the US are under threat from a lawsuit being pursued by SpaceXAI.
Elon Musk’s company is challenging California’s AB 2013, which requires AI companies to provide high-level summaries of training data, arguing that it breaches First Amendment rights.
While the specific requirement SpaceXAI — formerly known as xAI — is challenging concerns training data, legal experts are worried that an appeals court ruling could have far wider implications for transparency laws, potentially nullifying both those already in force and in the future.
Cut through the noise.
“Right now the public knows almost nothing about what these models are trained on, and xAI wants to keep it that way,” said Ben Rashkovich, Senior Counsel at Legal Advocates for Safe Science and Technology (LASST), which today filed an amicus brief opposing the suit alongside a host of other organizations and individuals.
