Texas sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over ChatGPT safety

Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of failing to warn consumers about potential dangers from its AI models. The suit claims OpenAI misled consumers about ChatGPT’s reliability, trustworthiness and safety, particularly for teenage users. The announcement on texasattorneygeneral.gov describes it as a case over “lying to users and harming Texans.” Florida and eight other states have already filed their own suits against OpenAI over harm to children.
