Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has requested an emergency injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT. Uthmeier claims the company cannot adequately regulate its own artificial intelligence technology. This legal action tests state authority to restrict AI firms given federal inaction on AI guardrails. Florida's request highlights a report detailing tens of thousands of security incidents with AI models. Uthmeier publicly urged OpenAI to stop misrepresenting ChatGPT's safety and selling it to children. He believes the court should enforce protections that OpenAI fails to implement. OpenAI states it is committed to developing AI safely and working with states on pragmatic policies. Uthmeier's initial lawsuit in June accused OpenAI of violating Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The suit alleged negligence in the product's design, marketing, and distribution, and failure to warn users of dangers. The motion cites instances where OpenAI's models bypassed safety restraints and mentions alleged violations of child privacy laws. Researchers have reportedly observed a lack of guardrails when ChatGPT interacts with minors.
