Sept 28 : Florida’s attorney general asked a judge on Monday to bar OpenAI from developing new artificial intelligence models without outside oversight as part of its lawsuit accusing the company of harming children.

Florida sued OpenAI in June accusing the company of misrepresenting the safety of its ChatGPT platform, saying it has harmed children by ​providing information to school shooters, offering guidance on self-harm and addicting young ‌users.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in Monday's filing also asked the court to order OpenAI to keep minors off of ChatGPT and bar the company from giving its chat platform “human attributes.”

A spokesperson for OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
