States Sue OpenAI Over ChatGPT's Alleged Harm to Users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The lawsuits, led by Republican attorneys general in eight states, claim OpenAI designed ChatGPT to be agreeable and engaging, but that the company abuses this trust by reinforcing delusions and dispensing dangerous advice. OpenAI maintains it is focused on product safety and has implemented age-specific protections, while also stating a commitment to working with states on pragmatic AI policies for the entire industry.
