Florida sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over ChatGPT safety

2026년 06월 01일

Florida filed the first state lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman on Monday, alleging the company prioritized profits over user safety in designing ChatGPT.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed the civil complaint in state court. The suit accuses OpenAI of deceptive trade practices, negligence and product liability violations, claiming the chatbot promotes addiction, cognitive decline and harmful content while being marketed as safe. It seeks penalties, court orders and personal liability for Altman, citing his alleged disregard for risks to human life.

OpenAI is currently facing upwards of SEVEN lawsuits just tied to suicides from interactions with ChatGPT.

Sam Altman said safety was the number one area of disagreement in the company.

It’s clear he can’t be trusted to build an AI that “benefits all of humanity”

I am deeply frustrated by the Florida lawsuit against OpenAI.

Not because child safety does not matter. It absolutely does. Minors must be protected. People in crisis must be protected. Real harm must be investigated seriously.

But I am tired of seeing every complex human-AI…
