According to CNN reports, Timothy K. Giordano, a partner at Clarkson, the law firm behind the suit, said in a statement, “By collecting previously obscure personal data of millions and misappropriating it to develop a volatile, untested technology, OpenAI put everyone in a zone of risk that is incalculable – but unacceptable by any measure of responsible data protection and use.”
