Two AI settlements are actually paying out right now
Neutrogena's $4.7 million face-scan settlement and RealPage's $359.9 million rent-pricing settlement are the only AI cases in this tracker taking claims as of October 24, 2026.
As of October 24, 2026, two AI-adjacent settlements were taking claims, according to the outlet's tracker. The Neutrogena Skin360 biometric privacy settlement, worth $4.7 million, covers people who used the face-scanning skin assessment tool in Illinois, with claims due November 25, 2026. The RealPage rent-pricing software settlement, worth $359.9 million, covers renters at settling landlords, with claims due January 29, 2027.
The outlet reported that all other pending AI lawsuits in the tracker have no settlement or claim form, and that the claims in those suits are unproven allegations which the named companies deny. The largest groups of pending cases involve chatbot and AI-assistant privacy suits, biometric privacy suits under Illinois law, wiretapping suits over AI call-listening tools, license-plate-reader and surveillance-camera suits, copyright and right-of-publicity suits over AI training data, discrimination and credit-reporting suits over AI hiring tools, and antitrust suits over algorithmic pricing.
The outlet also reported it found no lawsuit over AI-enabled border surveillance towers as of October 24, 2026, following an October 22, 2026 New York Times investigation that reported the towers can see into homes and schoolyards on the U.S. side. License-plate-reader challenges filed this fall in San Diego and Wisconsin concern city and police camera networks, the outlet reported, not the border towers.
Here's the thing about a tracker full of lawsuits: almost none of them have a check attached yet. Everything else in this roundup — the chatbot privacy suits, the wiretapping claims, the border-surveillance questions — is allegations only, no settlement, no claim form. But these two are live, with real deadlines. If you used Neutrogena's Skin360 face-scanning tool in Illinois, you have until November 25, 2026 to file. If you rented from a landlord using RealPage's pricing software, your window runs to January 29, 2027.
