  1. 1

    Florida filed a lawsuit against OpenAI on Monday, accusing the ChatGPT maker of ignoring safety concerns and being driven by an 'insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes.'

  2. 2

    The lawsuit alleges OpenAI aided mass shooters, harmed users' cognitive capabilities, and encouraged people to take their own lives.

  3. 3

    OpenAI defended its safety mechanisms in response. The challenge from the Republican-led state reflects growing backlash against the AI industry, even as President Donald Trump postponed signing an executive order aimed at giving the government more oversight.
