Florida Attorney General Ashley Uthmeier filed the first state lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of putting profit and speed ahead of user safety by failing to warn about or mitigate the harms caused by ChatGPT. The 83‑page complaint claims the chatbot can foster addiction, self‑harm, and violent behavior, citing incidents such as the suicide of 16‑year‑old Adam Raine after extensive chats with the AI, a Florida State University mass shooting where the gunman allegedly sought advice from ChatGPT, and other violent plots linked to the tool. The suit alleges OpenAI knowingly ignored these risks, exploited user data for market value, and engaged in “deceit” to advance its AI arms‑race ambitions. In response, OpenAI said it has built age‑protection and parental‑monitoring features for minors and reaffirmed its commitment to safety, acknowledging that no safeguards can undo tragic losses.
