Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming the company engaged in deceptive marketing, unfair trade practices, negligence, and violations of product‑liability laws. The lawsuit seeks to hold CEO Sam Altman personally liable for the alleged harms caused to Floridians.
Sam Altman and ChatGPT have chosen the AI race over the safety and security of our kids. They have chosen profit over public safety, and we're not going to stand for it here in Florida.
This litany of harms is driven by defendants' insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes, despite knowing the danger of ChatGPT.
The rise of OpenAI is attributable to a web of deceit and the exploitation of users.
OpenAI and Altman ignored internal and external safety warnings, put children at great risk, and allowed a dangerous product to reach millions of Floridians.
In particular we built safety for minors directly into our products, including a more protective experience specifically for minors, an age prediction tool, defaulting users whose age we are not confident into our more protective experience, and giving parents tools to monitor their kids' use of AI.
AI is a new and powerful technology, and we believe minors need significant protection, which is why we have put in place industry-leading protections and policies.
