Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked for an emergency injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, claiming the company doesn’t have the ability to properly regulate its own technology.
The legal fight could further test how far states can go to restrict AI companies despite the federal government declining to enact guardrails.
Florida’s request specifically cites a Sept. 26 Axios scoop that OpenAI and Anthropic are facing tens of thousands of security incidents with their models, not the dozens that are publicly known.
“Stop calling it safe,” Uthmeier said in a video posted to X on Monday. “Stop pretending it’s human. Stop selling it to kids. If Sam Altman meant what he said about slowing down, he can join our ask to the court. If he will not, we ask the court to do what OpenAI will not do for itself: protect Florida families.”
