Eight US states announced lawsuits against OpenAI on 14 October, alleging that ChatGPT harmed users, including teenagers. Reuters reported that the cases were filed separately in state courts by a bipartisan group of attorneys general.
The complaints invoke consumer-protection and public-nuisance laws. They accuse the company of misleading users about safety and seek changes to the product alongside civil penalties and damages.
These are allegations in newly filed cases, not findings that a court has established. Reuters said an OpenAI spokesperson did not immediately respond to its request for comment at the time of the report.
