OpenAI, Sam Altman sued by Florida over ‘web of deceit and the exploitation of users’: What is the case all about?

James Uthmeier, Florida Attorney General, on Monday (local time) sued artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sam Altman, accusing the firm of putting profit over safety.

NBC News, citing the complaint filed, noted, “The rise of OpenAI is attributable to a web of deceit and the exploitation of users (including Floridians), leveraging their data and safety to boost OpenAI’s market value at unacceptable costs.”
