Nathan Calvin, a lawyer and AI policy advocate at Encode AI, claims OpenAI served a subpoena at his home, seeking his private messages relating to AI regulation efforts. This action, part of OpenAI’s countersuit against Elon Musk, appears to target critics and advocates of new AI regulations like California’s SB 53, which demands transparency from large AI companies. OpenAI stated the subpoenas aimed to understand Encode AI’s support for Musk’s legal challenge against OpenAI’s for-profit restructuring. The incident has raised concerns about the use of legal tactics to intimidate AI safety advocates.
