It asks the court to order several enjoinments against OpenAI: for the company to stop developing any AI models without independent third-party guardrails and approval, to stop providing ChatGPT for minors in Florida, to stop collecting data from Florida children under 13 without notice, consent, review, and security procedures, to stop representing ChatGPT as safe, accurate, or reliable, to stop ascribing any false human attributes to its services, and to stop soliciting engagement through “conversation prolongation.” In a video posted to X the same day, Uthmeier said Altman can join the request if his intentions are genuine.
