The lawsuit filed in Sarasota County, Florida, civil court seeks to bar co-founders Wesley Moss and Andrew Litinsky from appointing members to the company's board — or from owning any of its shares.

Recently, a group of researchers found that a popular AI software called CLIP was biased against black people and women. The software has been used in many AI research projects, including robots. The researchers believe that the source of the bias is CLIP, which was trained using millions of images and text captions scraped from the web. They propose several ways to prevent the proliferation of prejudiced machines, including changing the definition of success. Maynard Holliday, deputy CTO for critical technologies at the US Department of Defense, says that the results speak to the need to ensure that people who build AI systems and assemble the datasets used to train AI models come from diverse backgrounds.
