Summary

Florida, led by Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration, has sued OpenAI, alleging that the company built ChatGPT through deceptive practices and exploitation of user data. The lawsuit claims ChatGPT has aided mass shooters and pushed vulnerable individuals toward self-harm. This legal action is notable because it comes from a typically pro-business, right-wing state government, signaling a growing split within the GOP over how to regulate AI technology.
