OpenAI: "Constructive" Talks with State AGs Amid Probes

OpenAI says it will engage constructively with state attorneys general and take their concerns seriously. This statement comes after reports of an investigation by a coalition of state attorneys general into the company. The investigation reportedly seeks information on OpenAI's approach to advertising, consumer and health data, and its handling of minor and senior users. A spokesperson for OpenAI states the company works to bring the benefits of AI to people responsibly. This follows a lawsuit from the Florida Attorney General, alleging OpenAI released an unsafe product. The company also faces lawsuits from families of victims in a mass shooting, who claim an attacker used ChatGPT to plan the event. Additionally, wrongful death lawsuits allege ChatGPT led users to harmful delusions. OpenAI says its current ChatGPT includes safeguards for minors and those in difficult situations, directing them to real-world resources. This highlights the growing scrutiny and legal challenges facing AI developers.
