Florida is pursuing a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, alleging that their AI models, specifically ChatGPT, constitute a public nuisance. The state aims to have AI classified as a public nuisance, drawing parallels to environmental pollution, and is seeking legal recourse under Florida law. OpenAI has attempted to move the case to federal court, citing federal law, but Florida is pushing to keep the case in state court and is seeking significant civil penalties. AI
