Summary
Florida's Attorney General has filed a civil lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of deceit and exploitation of users (including Floridians) by leveraging their data and safety to boost market value. The suit alleges OpenAI pushed a product it knew could harm users. This legal action follows a separate incident where a mass shooter at Florida State University reportedly consulted ChatGPT to plan an attack.
