This comes after a mass shooter at FSU reportedly consulted Chat GPT to plan the attack.
Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images Florida's Attorney General has sued Open AI and CEO Sam Altman, according to a report by NBC News. The suit accuses the company of pushing a product it knew could harm users. "The rise of Open AI is attributable to a web of deceit and the exploitation of users (including Floridians), leveraging their data and safety to boost Open AI's market value at unacceptable costs," the complaint reads.
The civil suit seeks penalties and court orders rather than criminal charges. AG James Uthmeier said the lawsuit "seeks to hold Altman personally liable for the harm he has caused Floridians through his reckless and willful conduct as founder and CEO of OpenAI, including his utter disregard for the risk to human life caused by his firms' conduct." Uthmeier did open up a criminal investigation into the company a couple of months back, which is ongoing.
