Florida has reportedly become the first state in the US to take legal action against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, filing a massive 83-page lawsuit that directly blames the company’s ChatGPT chatbot for fueling mass shootings, driving vulnerable users to suicide and causing severe addiction in minors. According to a report by CNBC, the civil lawsuit, filed on Monday (June 1) by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, targets both the artificial intelligence (AI) company and its high-profile CEO. The state alleges that the tech giant knowingly released an unsafe product onto the public in a race to dominate the AI market.
“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 court filing stated, as per the report.
