Court Rejects Claims that Website’s Live Chat Feature Violates California’s Prohibitions on Wiretapping and Eavesdropping
Amy Gordon, Leslie Shanklin, and Jeff Warshafsky of Proskauer write:
In recent years, the “live chat” feature often used on consumer-facing websites has become the subject of lawsuits brought under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”). In particular, there have been a surge of putative class actions challenging the use of this feature under Sections 631(a) and 632.7 of CIPA, which prohibit wiretapping and eavesdropping on certain communications.
This month, Judge Annette Cody of the Central District of California dismissed one such lawsuit at the motion to dismiss phase, holding that the plaintiff had failed to allege any unlawful conduct under CIPA. Cody v. Boscov’s, Inc., No. 22-cv-01434 (C.D. Cal. May 6, 2024).

China’s latest answer to OpenAI is ‘Chat Xi PT’
Internet regulator uses Chinese leader’s political philosophy to help answer questions posed to latest large language model
Beijing’s latest attempt to control how artificial intelligence informs Chinese internet users has been rolled out as a chatbot trained on the thoughts of President Xi Jinping.

“The expertise and authority of the corpus ensures the professionalism of the generated content,” CAC’s magazine said, in a Monday social media post about the new LLM.

OpenAI Just Gave Away the Entire Game
The Scarlett Johansson debacle is a microcosm of AI’s raw deal: It’s happening, and you can’t stop it.
If you’re looking to understand the philosophy that underpins Silicon Valley’s latest gold rush, look no further than OpenAI’s Scarlett Johansson debacle. The story, according to Johansson’s lawyers, goes like this: Nine months ago, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman approached the actor with a request to license her voice for a new digital assistant; Johansson declined. She alleges that just two days before the company’s keynote event last week, in which that assistant was revealed as part of a new system called GPT-4o, Altman reached out to Johansson’s team, urging the actor to reconsider. Johansson and Altman allegedly never spoke, and Johansson allegedly never granted OpenAI permission to use her voice. Nevertheless, the company debuted Sky two days later—a program with a voice many believed was alarmingly similar to Johansson’s.
