Eight states sue OpenAI, saying ChatGPT isn’t safe for kids

Eight US states have filed separate lawsuits against OpenAI, accusing the company of prioritizing profits over safety and misleading customers about the safety of ChatGPT, particularly in regards to its potential harm to children. The lawsuits were filed by the attorneys general of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, and Montana. The allegations suggest that OpenAI failed to take sufficient measures to protect minors from the potential risks of ChatGPT, and instead focused on maximizing profits. This comes after earlier reports by Reuters.
