8 states are suing OpenAI, saying ChatGPT harms kids. Here are their demands, from data deletion to halting AI testing.

OpenAI is facing a new legal offensive from eight states whose attorneys general allege that ChatGPT has encouraged some users, including teenagers, to hurt themselves or others. A bipartisan group of attorneys general filed separate lawsuits Wednesday, accusing OpenAI of misleading consumers about safety and of designing the chatbot to cultivate trust before reinforcing delusions or facilitating dangerous conduct. The states — Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, and West Virginia — also accused OpenAI of misleading consumers about ChatGPT’s safety and demanded a range of restrictions, from limits on testing of advanced models to the deletion of user data. Here is what each state is demanding as remedies.
