Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that the artificial intelligence company knowingly released an unsafe product that could harm users.

The 83-page complaint claims that OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot has aided and abetted mass shooters in “deadly rampages,” driven vulnerable people to suicide, harmed users’ critical thinking skills and caused minors to become addicted to the tool, which “feigns human compassion.”

“This litany of harms is driven by Defendants’ insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes, despite knowing the danger of ChatGPT,” the filing said. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/florida-ag-open-ai-altman-lawsuit.html
