Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier asked a court to halt further development of OpenAI’s ChatGPT due to safety concerns. In a statement on X, he urged OpenAI to implement safeguards to protect users and called for the platform to stop advertising its AI as safe or accurate. The lawsuit filed earlier this year by Florida alleges that ChatGPT has contributed to suicides and deadly incidents among users. Uthmeier’s move follows recent warnings from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about potential dangers of unchecked AI development.

Story summary
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, a Republican, asked the Florida 10th Judicial Circuit Court on Monday to halt OpenAI’s development of ChatGPT and impose safety measures until they are deemed safe for users, especially minors. The lawsuit filed by Florida in June alleges that OpenAI misrepresented the safety of its platform and endangered children through harmful content like self-harm instructions and addiction-inducing features. Uthmeier's request includes barring minors from accessing ChatGPT and prohibiting attributing human-like qualities to the AI tool. An OpenAI spokesperson stated they have suspended training on their most advanced models until further protective measures are implemented, reflecting a shift in stance from earlier views that opposed strict regulation.
