Florida Seeks Court Order to Restrict OpenAI's AI Development Over Child Safety Concerns
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has sought a court order to restrict OpenAI from developing new AI models, citing concerns over ChatGPT's safety and its impact on children. The lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT has provided harmful information to minors, including guidance on self-harm and school shootings, and accuses OpenAI of misrepresenting the platform's safety. The filing also requests barring minors from accessing ChatGPT and prohibiting the platform from being given human-like attributes. OpenAI has not yet responded to these claims.
