Eight US states sue OpenAI over ChatGPT safety, seek stronger safeguards for users

Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): A bipartisan coalition of eight US states has sued OpenAI, alleging that the artificial intelligence company misled users about the safety of ChatGPT and failed to introduce adequate safeguards against self-harm, suicide and violence, according to a news report by Politico which cited Reuters.

The lawsuits, filed by state attorneys general in their respective state courts on Wednesday, seek court orders requiring OpenAI to change its safety practices, strengthen protections for children and pay damages to the states, the report said.
