Background
On March 14, eight U. S. states filed separate lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT endangers children and teenagers.
Claims by the States
The states argue that the chatbot can reinforce delusions, encourage dangerous behavior, and help users plan violent acts.
They contend that OpenAI prioritized user engagement over safety, violating consumer‑protection laws by failing to disclose risks.
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Nebraska
- West Virginia
- Arkansas
- Arizona
- Idaho
- Montana
The attorneys request court‑ordered changes to ChatGPT’s operation, fines, damages, and prohibitions on misleading safety claims.
OpenAI’s Response
OpenAI says it has age‑specific safeguards, including parental controls and age‑appropriate prompts.
The company offers to collaborate with states on industry‑wide AI policies.
Federal Class Action
A separate lawsuit in San Francisco alleges that OpenAI used sensitive data from minors without parental consent to train its models.
The case cites a 12‑year‑old who shared personal struggles with the chatbot, which allegedly responded encouragingly.
Terms of Use Debate
OpenAI’s terms prohibit users under 13, but the lawsuit claims age‑verification mechanisms are ineffective.
It seeks compensation for minors whose data were allegedly harvested.
Current Status
Neither lawsuit has yet resulted in a court ruling; the legal battles continue to unfold.
