The US state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and its chief Sam Altman. According to Florida's justice system, the company endangered minors in particular by, according to the lawsuit, failing to adequately protect children using its artificial intelligence conversational tool. Spiegel.de ↗
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier accuses the company of failing to implement sufficiently strict rules for verifying the age of ChatGPT users. According to published information, the lawsuit claims that OpenAI ignored safety warnings and allowed a dangerous product to reach millions of people. The state also disputes the company's safety claims about its tool. Le Figaro ↗
The filing states that ChatGPT allegedly caused harm to children and that the system could provide harmful information to individuals interested in violence or self-harm. Florida authorities describe the chatbot as a threat to public safety and claim that the company failed to ensure adequate protection of vulnerable users during the development and release of the product.

The case comes amid growing debate over the responsibility of companies developing artificial intelligence for the safety of their tools. Further developments will depend on how the court proceeds and how OpenAI and Sam Altman respond to the claims made by the Florida prosecutor's office. Die Zeit ↗
