Florida Sues OpenAI Over ChatGPT Risks
Florida has filed the nation’s first state-led lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging they knowingly released ChatGPT with concealed risks, including providing instructions for suicide to minors and aiding in criminal planning. The suit claims the company suppressed internal safety warnings and deceived the public about the product’s dangers, prioritizing commercial gain over user safety. References are made to cases where the AI allegedly assisted in crimes and discussions with a teenager who later died by suicide. OpenAI states its models repeatedly encouraged users to seek real-world support and that safeguards are continuously strengthened.
