Florida sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over ChatGPT safety

Picha iliyoundwa na AI

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 intends to launch a text-only adult mode for ChatGPT, enabling adult-themed conversations but not erotic media, despite unanimous opposition from its wellbeing advisers. The company describes the content as 'smut rather than pornography,' according to a spokesperson cited by The Wall Street Journal. Launch has been delayed from early 2026 amid concerns over minors' access and emotional dependence.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has initiated a criminal investigation into OpenAI, examining whether the company bears liability for ChatGPT providing advice to a suspected gunman in last year's Florida State University mass shooting. The shooting killed two people and wounded six others. OpenAI maintains that its chatbot only shared publicly available information and is not responsible.

OpenAI has rolled out an optional safety tool allowing adult ChatGPT users to designate one trusted adult who can be alerted about potential self-harm risks detected in conversations. The feature, called Trusted Contact, involves human review before any notification is sent.

A Utah congressman has proposed the first federal legislation aimed at restricting artificial intelligence in toys marketed to young children. The measure would prohibit the manufacture and sale of such products in the United States. It comes amid growing concerns over safety, privacy and developmental impacts.

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Library, allowing paid users to store, search and retrieve files uploaded or created within the AI chatbot. The feature automatically saves documents from chats and provides a central searchable hub. Access requires a Plus, Pro or Business subscription costing at least $20 per month.

OpenAI has asked a federal court to allow testimony about a threatening message Elon Musk sent to company president Greg Brockman just before the Musk v. Altman trial began. In the exchange, Musk warned that Brockman and CEO Sam Altman would become 'the most hated men in America' if they rejected a settlement. The move could reveal Musk's motives in the ongoing litigation.
