Florida's attorney general requested a judge to halt OpenAI’s development of new artificial intelligence models without oversight as part of an ongoing lawsuit alleging the company harms children through its ChatGPT platform. The state filed the suit in June, accusing OpenAI of misleading about the safety of ChatGPT and endangering youth by providing harmful content and addicting young users. In response, OpenAI stated it has paused training on its most advanced models until protective measures are established and is willing to work with Florida on setting safety standards for AI.

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.
