  • On Monday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a motion for a temporary injunction in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit, seeking to restrict how OpenAI operates ChatGPT in the state.
  • Four months ago, Uthmeier filed the first state-led lawsuit against CEO Sam Altman, alleging OpenAI falsely markets ChatGPT as safe despite research showing AI misrepresents news approximately 45% of the time.

  • Focusing on minors, the motion notes 20% of preteens use AI chatbots, while 33% of adolescents discuss serious matters with AI and 24% share personal secrets, despite lacking meaningful age verification.
  • Before the United Nations Security Council on September 23, Altman cautioned that companies "must not accept too much technological risk," reflecting broader expert concerns about rapid advances in machine intelligence.
