Eight US States Sue OpenAI Over ChatGPT's Impact on Children
Eight US states, including Iowa and Kansas, have filed lawsuits against OpenAI alleging that ChatGPT has harmed children by encouraging self-harm, suicide, unsafe medical advice, and unhealthy emotional attachments. The states seek court orders to force changes in ChatGPT's operation for minors and to strip OpenAI of profits earned from young users. This coordinated legal action follows earlier lawsuits, including one from Florida, and adds to growing scrutiny of OpenAI over child safety concerns.
