2025 could be dubbed the year of AI developments for sure. From the beginning, we first saw ChatGPT making waves online, and then the OpenAI chatbot faced some more than serious competition from xAI’s Grok and Google Gemini. Apart from the developments, the year also saw some of the biggest controversies related to AI that left no tech giant untouched, be it Apple, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, or any other player. On that note, here are the biggest tech controversies of 2025 that you definitely should take a look at.
This came out as one of the biggest issues of this year, in which all of the tech giants have been named, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, and even OpenAI. Authors and publishers from all over the globe accused these firms of training their models on copyrighted articles, books, and other datasets without any consent or remuneration. And there are a lot of cases running in the courts to make stricter guardrails around companies using the datasets from public sources.
ChatGPT stood at the centre of a teenager’s suicide, in which it was said that the model helped the teenager in writing his suicide note and gave him ideas to end his life. The response of the same was such that OpenAI launched a teenager helpline and other features to avoid these kinds of cases in the future. Apart from that, ChatGPT is also facing a lawsuit in a case where the AI model gave rise to the delusion of a man to an extent that he first killed his mother and then killed himself as well.
It is almost impossible to talk about controversies and not mention Elon Musk because he is a magnet when it comes to the same. And the biggest controversy related to him happened with the xAI boss sued Apple and OpenAI, suggesting that Apple is misusing its App Store and favoring Sam Altman’s ChatGPT to stay at the top. Musk claimed that Apple is making it harder for other competitors to stand a chance against ChatGPT. Apple responded to the same by suggesting that they have uniform guidelines for all the AI apps on the Apple Play Store.
Yes, it is true, the state if New York was all set to pass what is hailed as the strongest AI safety laws in the United State by bringing rules like mandatory reporting of serious AI-related incidents, clear accountability for deployers and developers, penalties for failing to address known AI risks, and more. However, the bill was watered down by the impact of the tech giants like Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and more. These giants made everything softened by lobbying, and the rules didn’t feel like rules anymore.
