'A Web of Deceit': Florida Sues OpenAI Over ChatGPT Safety Concerns

Florida has sued OpenAI, making it the first U.S. state to accuse the company of misleading users about ChatGPT’s safety.

The complaint says ChatGPT exposed children and other users to harmful, unreliable, and potentially addictive content despite safety claims.

Florida alleges OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman ignored internal and external warnings and violated deceptive-practice laws.

The case could become an early precedent for state oversight of AI chatbot safety, child protection, and consumer harm.
