Eight US states sue AI giant OpenAI, saying its popular chatbot is hurting children and deceiving adults

At least eight U.S. states have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging that the company's artificial intelligence chatbot violates state consumer protection laws. The legal actions, centered in Pennsylvania, claim the company engaged in a reckless pursuit of development that has resulted in harm to children and the deception of adult users.

Prosecutors involved in the litigation argue that the company's practices prioritize rapid expansion over safety and transparency. The lawsuits seek to address concerns regarding the impact of AI technology on minors and the accuracy of information provided to the general public.
