Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of misleading consumers about ChatGPT’s safety, failing to protect children and violating state requirements for age verification and parental controls. The lawsuit, filed October 23 in Collin County, seeks sweeping restrictions on ChatGPT’s availability to minors and independent safety reviews of new AI models. Paxton’s office alleges that, “despite marketing itself as a safe and reliable tool, OpenAI has failed to protect Texans, including children, from the many harms of relying on its artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT.” The complaint alleges that ChatGPT lacks adequate age verification and parental consent mechanisms, and that its controls for parents do not meet the requirements of Texas’s SCOPE Act.
