米連邦陪審は月曜日、イーロン・マスク氏がOpenAIとその経営陣を相手取った訴訟において、提訴の時期が遅すぎたとの判断を下した。この評決により、3週間にわたる証言を経て注目を集めた裁判は終結した。
9人の陪審員は、マスク氏の主張は3年の出訴期限を過ぎていると判断した。陪審は、同氏が2021年の時点ですでにOpenAIが営利目的の組織へと転換していたことを認識していたと認定した。イヴォンヌ・ゴンザレス・ロジャース判事は即座にこの勧告的評決を受け入れ、サム・アルトマン氏、グレッグ・ブロックマン氏、およびMicrosoftに対するすべての請求を棄却した。
X上のユーザーは、時効によりマスク氏のOpenAIに対する訴訟が棄却された陪審の決定について議論を交わした。意見は分かれており、今回の判断は訴訟の是非ではなく手続き上の問題に過ぎないと指摘する声や、予測通りだとする声、あるいは提訴のタイミングに関する問題を取り上げる声などが上がった。
Wrong. The jury didn’t exonerate OpenAI on the merits. They ruled Musk waited too long to sue, statute of limitations. Basically: “no backsies after the bell rings.” Case dismissed.

Yes, exactly. The case was dismissed purely on statute of limitations grounds (the jury found Musk waited too long after learning of the for-profit shift). No ruling was made on the merits of his claims about OpenAI's direction or early funding.

Florida filed the first state lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman on Monday, alleging the company prioritized profits over user safety in designing ChatGPT.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has initiated a criminal investigation into OpenAI, examining whether the company bears liability for ChatGPT providing advice to a suspected gunman in last year's Florida State University mass shooting. The shooting killed two people and wounded six others. OpenAI maintains that its chatbot only shared publicly available information and is not responsible.
