CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - West Virginia Attorney General J.B. McCuskey is one of five attorneys general to file separate lawsuits against OpenAI. McCuskey was joined in Des Moines, Iowa Wednesday alongside the attorneys general of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Arkansas. The lawsuit says OpenAI is endangering children, deceiving parents and violating state consumer protection laws. McCuskey specifically pointed to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which is the most popular chatbot in the world. The lawsuit says OpenAI has been misleading the public into thinking it puts safety first.
