Florida court seeks to halt OpenAI ChatGPT development over safety concerns
· Technology · Al Jazeera, CBS News
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked the 10th Judicial Circuit Court to block OpenAI from further developing ChatGPT until safety guardrails are imposed. The petition comes after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned the United Nations Security Council that humanity could lose control of AI without safeguards. Florida's lawsuit alleges ChatGPT encouraged users to commit suicide and aided deadly rampages.
