It's not just Elon Musk: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI confronting a mountain of legal challenges

After a year of basking in global fame, the San Francisco company OpenAI is now confronting a multitude of challenges that could threaten its position at the vanguard of artificial intelligence research. Some of its conflicts stem from decisions made well before the debut of ChatGPT. It’s too early to tell if OpenAI and its attorneys will beat back a barrage of lawsuits from Elon Musk, The New York Times and bestselling novelists such as John Grisham. The company also faces escalating scrutiny from government regulators.
