Florida's attorney general has petitioned a state court to stop OpenAI developing ChatGPT further until it proves safety measures are in place, citing claims the chatbot encouraged suicide and 'aided and abetted deadly rampages' plus recent unauthorised AI access incidents. The filing asks the court to bar minors from the platform, stop claims of reliability, and require third-party approval of safeguards before development resumes. It escalates an earlier state lawsuit and puts Florida's Republican leadership at odds with the Trump administration's lighter-touch stance on AI.
