Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of putting profits ahead of safety and misleading users about the risks associated with ChatGPT. The lawsuit seeks to hold Altman personally liable and cites several incidents involving alleged harms linked to ChatGPT, including the 2025 mass shooting at Florida State University. OpenAI rejected the allegations, saying ChatGPT provided factual information from public sources and did not encourage illegal or harmful activity.
